The care I received was amazing, it was easy to contact the team who responded quickly and arrange appointments on the same day when required. Have Racheal as my main contact provided continuity of care, she was amazing during a crisis, provided support and ensured I accessed the right level of support. I feel very fortunate to have been under the care of Oxford Long Covid team, my GP was very responsive and flowing advice on medications to treat some of my symptoms as advised by LC physicians. I was able to access the following courses: Breath workshop, Continuing progress workshop, Talking Space and ENO breath course. Support in applying for a Blue Badge. Having support for someone who understands fatigue/dysautonomia and related issues was so helpful, having regular appointments via video was so helpful as avoided additional traveling to and from work. I feel that here in Oxfordshire we are so fortunate to have this service and grateful for the care I received enabling and reinforcing self care and self management tools to manage and aid recovery. As I'm no discharged from the service its so reassuring that if I need support in the future its only an email away.

For me the timing of courses, I would have liked more time between the Breath and Maintaining Progress workshops as I went from one to the other and that a few weeks my be better. In a dream world: With the use of zoom and Teams there is scope perhaps for the future to offer other workshops, such as NLP, meditation, yoga, Qigong for example led by those with experience and understanding of fatigue related issues for example.
