Manx Care sessions taking place next week
People suffering from Long Covid on the Isle of Man are being urged to take part in a 'listening exercise'.
Manx Care is currently scoping a specialist service for people with it, and for those suffering from ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and a business case has been submitted to Treasury.
Workshops will be held next week which will be facilitated by an independent and impartial member of the government's learning and development team.
They will take place as follows:
- Long Covid: Palace Hotel and Casino - Wednesday, 9 February from 4pm-6pm
- ME/CFS: Palace Hotel and Casino - Thursday, 10 February from 1pm-3pm
- Long Covid: Comis Hotel - Tuesday, 29 March from 1pm-3pm
- ME/CFS: Comis Hotel - Wednesday, 30 March from 4pm-6pm
Manx Care chief executive Teresa Cope says it's important people highlight what support they feel they need from the service:
One in eight drinking above recommended weekly alcohol limit
Renal patients 'near breaking point' over lack of dialysis facilities in the north
Public Health to expand 'stop nicotine' services and accept referrals from children
