A charity has said NHS bureaucracy has prevented patients from being referred to its support service.
Its aim was to work with GPs and develop a support plan for people early on in their experience with long Covid as they awaited further NHS treatment.
She said: "They come to us as a self-referral, so we're supporting people at the worst points in their long Covid journey - but that's not what the service was for. She said she has received some support, but often feels nothing can be done for new symptoms as medical professionals know little about the condition.
"We need research, but to do the research properly they've got to speak to us and it's got to be collated from every GP practice. It's a brilliant opportunity for them to find out what's happening because it's happening to so many people at the same time."which calls on the Scottish government to make a number of changes.
