Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, many healthcare professionals have been seriously affected by occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 while providing essential care to patients.
An estimated 199,000 NHS workers are estimated to be living with Long Covid or other chronic post-Covid health issues.
They face loss of career, employment and income – all alongside the effects of the illness itself. Meanwhile, adequate protections for healthcare professionals are still not in place.
What support is available? How can it be accessed? And what changes are needed?
HCSA – the hospital doctors’ union presents an exclusive webinar with Dr Shaun Peter Qureshi, one of the foremost voices campaigning to better support healthcare professionals living with Long Covid.

This webinar covers:
- How inadequate protections at work lead to healthcare professionals living with Long Covid
