Abstract
This report provides a timely summary about fast-evolving qualitative inquiries into Long COVID (LC) in the UK. Based on a survey conducted within a national qualitative LC (QLC) research network comprising 14 teams from across the UK, we aim to explore how the novel public health challenge of LC is being examined and supported across various care settings and how it is experienced among different demographic groups. Evident in the survey findings is the diverse research foci, participant sampling and methodological approaches in response to the complex and pervasive challenges presented by LC. Whilst the multifaceted impacts, diversified lived experiences and health inequalities of LC have been increasingly illuminated by the studies included in our survey, we have also identified a range of knowledge gaps for future research to address, for example carer and healthcare professionals’ experiences, regional disparity in LC responses and international comparison. Ultimately, on behalf of our research network, we aim to enhance QLC research by pooling our findings and expertise to produce further collaborative research outputs on this topic.
