Long COVID Program
The RPA Virtual Hospital Long COVID Program provides virtual care, education and support to help you manage your Long COVID symptoms.
What to expect
As a patient, you will have access to allied health group programs which are led by Clinical Psychologists who have Long COVID experience.
You can only attend one group at a time.
Long COVID Support Group
The aim of this group is to bring people who are experiencing Long COVID together to support one another, share coping strategies and for group problem solving.
The support group is held weekly and is online. You are welcome to attend the group any week you like and until you begin attending the Long COVID Management Group.
Long COVID Management Group
The aim of this group is to provide you with the knowledge and skills to manage your Long COVID symptoms. At each session, a different health professional will discuss strategies that can help. The health professionals include psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, dietitians and speech pathologists.
The group also provides an opportunity to share your experience and provide support to others.
We recommend you attend all sessions.
