Today, we’re speaking to Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham, Professor of General Practice Research at Keele University. Title of paper: People from ethnic minorities seeking help for Long Covid: a qualitative study.Available at: <a href="https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0631" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0631</a>People from ethnic minority groups are less likely to present to primary healthcare for Long Covid. This study explored the lived experiences of Long Covid amongst people from ethnic minority groups. Participants were often previously unaware of Long Covid or available support and some described not feeling worthy of receiving care. Experiences of stigma and discrimination contribute to a lack of trust in healthcare professionals and services, and are common in previous negative healthcare encounters. Receiving empathy, validation, and fairness in recognition of symptoms, and support is needed to enhance trust and safety in healthcare.
