Breathlessness is one of the main symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome. In October, NHS England announced that more than 40 clinics will be set up in England to offer a specialist response to the issues faced by patients experiencing post-COVID-19 syndrome.
Respiratory Networks are already involved in the response to COVID-19 and these networks may be used to assist with help being offered at the new post-COVID-19 clinics.
