Optimising General Practice Long COVID Care - an Educational Intervention.

This trial will evaluate the feasibility of a pilot educational intervention for GPs that aims to enhance care and care outcomes among patients with long COVID at six general practices in the Ireland East region. Our first objective is to conduct focus groups with key stakeholders (GPs, other health professionals, patients, families/carers) that will inform the contents of an education intervention. The second objective will be to implement this educational intervention, and the third objective will be to determine whether the intervention is feasible. Study outcomes will include: * Qualitative findings from co-design focus groups and post-intervention semi-structured interviews with GPs. * Practice and patient study recruitment and retention data. * GP / Practice characteristics: age \& gender, practice location, general and COVID-19 patient population figures. * Patient characteristics: Patient age, gender, COVID-19 vaccination status, and medical history details. * Patient scores on a self-report measure assessing the symptoms, symptom severity, functional impact, and overall health (COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale (C-19-YRS)).
