About this session
Long COVID can affect people in different ways, but commonly reported symptoms include persistent fatigue, difficulty concentrating, memory changes, breathlessness and symptoms that worsen after physical or mental effort.
These difficulties can affect everyday functioning even when someone appears well from the outside.
This session begins with the practical realities of working with reduced or unpredictable capacity.
Participants identify how fatigue and cognitive changes appear for them, prioritize essential tasks, reduce unnecessary mental load and build routines that allow activity and recovery to be planned more deliberately.
The session does not present one universal recovery pathway or encourage participants to push through worsening symptoms. Instead, it supports careful observation, flexible planning and clearer conversations with managers and healthcare professionals.
Long COVID can involve a wide range of symptoms and may require individualized, multidisciplinary support.
