Scroll down page to view full programme.In this post-pandemic era, it is more evident than ever that there is a significant knowledge gap impacting our ability to support people with long-term post-viral difficulties. Rarely has this skill-set featured in professional trainings or accessible ongoing profession development. Clinicians see even more patients than prior to the Covid-19 pandemic suffering with debilitating persistent symptoms, and many of us feel ill-equipped to know where to start. AIMS OF THE EVENT This meeting aims to give interested parties confidence that they are not missing opportunities to help patient manage their symptoms, or red flags to more urgent and pernicious health sequelae. Practitioners who have been researching and supporting autonomic dysfunction have been aware for some time that PoTS and associated conditions often materialise after an acute infection has passed. It is now clear that PoTS is presenting in patients with a long-covid diagnosis. In additional to presenting clear information about the diagnosis and effective management of PoTS, this meeting will also introduce attendees to the range of allied diagnoses and multi-specialty and multi-disciplinary approaches. The intention is to arm the clinician with how to support even the most complex post-covid presentations with practical interventions to optimise their functioning and overall well-being.WHO CAN ATTENDThis event will be appropriate for any healthcare professional managing patients with long covid and/or PoTS including (but not limited to) primary and secondary care physicians and nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and dieticians.IN PERSON OR VIRTUALWe are also excited for the first time post-pandemic to provide a hybrid event.
