GP training may ease long COVID burden

NCT ID NCT06082258

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether training general practitioners to better manage persistent symptoms after COVID-19 can improve patients' quality of life. Adults with at least two long COVID symptoms (like fatigue, breathlessness, or brain fog) lasting over two months will be enrolled. The study compares standard care to a program where GPs receive specialized training and are reimbursed for longer consultations. The main goal is to see if patients report better physical health after three months.

What this could lead to

If effective, this approach could offer a practical way to improve quality of life for people with persistent post-COVID symptoms through better GP care.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on GP training rather than a direct treatment, so benefits may be modest or not generalizable.
