In honour of #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay, I’d like to present some important data from the latest GP-Patient survey. This is a HUGE survey with a sample size of ~700K people in England (5x bigger than ONS’s Covid survey). In this thread, I’ll walk you through some key findings… /1



The NHS England GP Patient Survey 2025 asked approx. 700,000 people if they have #LongCovid. Yes: 4.2% I don’t know: 9.5% These figures are staggering evidence of the likely prevalence of symptomatic people & the continuing lack of education on Long Covid. #LongCovidAwareness












We're supposed to pretend we're not ill, for the comfort of others. Does anyone do that? Does it work?



📣1/2. Many stock images used in the media and on healthcare websites to represent p/w #LongCovid are far from realistic and fail to communicate the seriousness of the condition. 🎥 See our 2 videos. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences! 💖 #ThisIsLongCovid

2 years on. I am forever grateful for the amazing people I have connected with who are often also trying to heal loudly to try and help those who are suffering quietly. Millions are STILL WAITING for support, recognition, data, research and treatments. #LongCovidAwarenessDay
