In this podcast, Professor John (Jack) Lambert discusses his approach to management of Long Covid. He goes through the steps he follows to diagnose patients, and what signs he searches for during that diagnosis. He discusses some of the new emerging science in the Long Covid subject, issues surrounding the symptoms found in patients and potential treatment regimes.
