Further Support – Mental Health after Covid Hospitalisation

For some, the videos and resources on these pages may be exactly what they need. For others, they might need more support. There may be symptoms you are experiencing that we do not cover here, such as breathlessness, and we would encourage you to speak to your GP if this is the case.

If you feel that you need further support, for post-Covid symptoms or with your mental health more generally, please discuss this with your GP.
