THANK YOU 🙏🏻 - Let’s keep going
🚨Why we fight. Why a Comprehensive National Strategy is Urgent for Patients and Society.
When we look at the reality of Long COVID in the UK today, it is clear that a piecemeal approach to healthcare is no longer enough. Millions of people—including children, frontline healthcare workers, and everyday citizens—continue to live with life-changing, disabling symptoms. Yet, as routine testing, surveillance, and infection prevention measures have quietly ceased, the ongoing impact of this disease risks being entirely overlooked.
This petition is about demanding a coordinated, fully funded national strategy built in genuine partnership with patients, carers, researchers, and clinicians. We are advocating for a comprehensive framework that delivers on multiple vital pillars:
Sustained Biomedical Research: Moving beyond basic symptom management to fund deep research into biological mechanisms, leading to reliable diagnostics and evidence-based treatments.
Equitable & Accessible Healthcare: Properly funding services and ensuring healthcare professionals receive mandatory, appropriate education on Long COVID.
Cleaner Indoor Air & Infection Prevention: Better protecting children, vulnerable groups, and patients by prioritising safe air quality in schools and healthcare settings.
Long-Term Care & Independent Living: Securing appropriate, long-term care and financial support for individuals whose health has stripped away their ability to work or live independently.
This campaign is not just about those who are already sick. It is a vital shield to protect our workforce, protect our schools, support our NHS, and safeguard society from further avoidable harm.
We need to build a massive public signature count to prove to policy-makers, parliamentarians, and funding bodies that the public is demanding structural, lasting action.
What we need you to do right now:
- Share this update directly to your personal social media pages.
- Send the petition link to 3 friends or family members today.
- Let's hit our next milestone of 1,000 signatures and show Parliament the patient community will not be ignored!
You are not alone in this fight. I know from firsthand experience of suffering from severe long covid that you just trying to survive. I get it. Trust me, I really do. But we need to stick together, to not give up.
