Delighted to be part of the @CPROR_UoB team working on this important study
#LongCovid – at West Bromwich, England

This is spot on.
We love & have devoted our working lives to the NHS & our NHS patients.
But we witness it quietly, inexorably falling apart around us now - underfunded into terminal decline.
