🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
We have been sitting on this quietly but we have been shortlisted for the 2024 @Nature Inclusive Health Research Awards!
Our #Longcovid research has been selected for raising awareness of the lived experience and furthering the mechanistic basis of LC.
I'm incredibly proud of the entire team that is based at @DerbyUni and across the world.
A BIG shout out to @ruth_ashton1 who has crafted these projects with me since the start!
I can't forget Dr Tom Bewick - who has guided us with his expertise way before #Covid_19 .

A Long Thread 🧵…
Astounded to sit in a session at the @ACSM conference where high profile researchers/medical professionals are advocating for the role of GET and CBT in treating #LongCOVID
The session was delivered as a follow on from a talk given at @ACSM 2023 where the prevalence of Long COVID was discussed. The session started by providing an overview of Long COVID prevalence in the USA (estimated at 3-6%).

In our latest paper me, @ruth_ashton1 @cazd45 @Sunny_Rae1 and Ross Arena outline the role, importance and the considerations that need to be factored into decision making when deciding to use prognostic CPETs with #LongCovid
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is commonplace in the assessment of integrated physiology. It will undoubtedly play a role in furthering the pathophysiology and mechanistic knowledge of #LongCOVID. This information will inform treatment and management strategies BUT...

Our latest #research article is here and for the team, it's an important one!
'Forming a consensus opinion to inform long COVID support mechanisms and interventions: a modified Delphi approach'
You can read it here:
Published in the @eClinicalMedsciencedirect.com/science/articl…
This project led by @RebeccaOwen13_ used a modified Delphi approach to determine consensus from HCPs (n=55), people with #LongCovid (n=162), HCPs with LC (n=33) and academic researchers (n=21) to discuss, refine and achieve consensus on what LC support pathways should contain.

A thread for our new research project looking at Post Exertional Malaise/Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation in #LongCovid
🧵
1) We know that exercise in people living with #LongCOVID can lead to PEM & PESE. To better understand why this happens and to develop support strategies, we want to look in more detail at what causes this.
