Here, Dr Hua Wei, Dr Sarah Daniels, and Dr Ruth Wiggans (and wider team) outline new research into what works – and doesn’t work – for those with Long COVID returning to work, how this can inform wider reforms to employment support, and why policies should focus on supporting the individuals through the benefits system and enabling workplaces to provide tailored support
