Summary

People who are older, those who had underlying other health conditions and people living in poorer communities are at increased risk of complications and worse outcome from COVID-19. They are more likely to be admitted to hospital with this virus. In the UK in 2020, over 130,000 people were admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Whilst admission rates fell since then, there is a need to understand better the potential impact of the many symptoms resulting from a COVID-19 infection on patients and the health services. To achieve this, the respiratory team in the University Hospital set up a COVID-19 follow-up clinic for patients who had COVID-19 infection. In this clinic, for a period of 12 weeks patients have chest X-rays, blood tests and virtual medical consultations. The clinic has been running for three years.

This study will be conducted study to understand the expectations, preferences and experiences of patients who have been receiving care in the clinic. On one hand, patients who have received care in the clinic during the last yearwill be interviewed. On the other hand, patients who have been newly referred to the clinic will be interviewed before they start it and also after 12 weeks about how their expectations have been met. Patients will be identified by their clinical team and after consenting to take part in the study, they will be interviewed by qualitative researchers who will also analyse the interview data using scientific methods. The results of this study will help understanding whether changes are to be made to this clinic and also inform future similar services should they be needed.
