A health professor claims health boards are trying to avoid becoming overwhelmed by demand.
He is working with Robert Gordon University, the University of Dundee and long Covid sufferers to work out the best way to maximise recovery and quality of life for patients.
Prof Duncan and his team have followed four health boards across Scotland to see what the Covid rehabilitation pathway looks like.They found that in the area with the dedicated team, where the pathway was well-publicised, hundreds of referrals were made and there have been challenges meeting patient demand.
"There is a phenomenon known as turf protection, where services will not publicise pathways because they know if they do they can't meet demand." The charity created an online platform called My Tailored Talks which allows GPs and other clinicians to refer patients automatically to its support services and provide self-management information to patients.Greig Brown's GP put him in touch with a Covid pilot group
Greig said: "I was worrying about money, was my life going to get better? It wasn't, it was getting worse.
