My experience with Long Covid and understanding its effects on children

Produced by covid:aid, the UK’s new national COVID-19 charity, Covid Matters is a regular podcast in which experts speak to us about the key issues facing those affected by the pandemic. We are delighted to welcome Dr Nathalie MacDermott to the show. She’s a clinical doctor and academic researcher at King's College London, sub-specialising in paediatric infectious diseases in the NHS. She also has significant experience in medical response to disaster and epidemic situations in Africa and Asia. 

Nathalie has been living with Long Covid since 2020, and has spoken publicly and powerfully about the long-term effects. Here’s an article she wrote for The Conversation in May 2021: https://theconversation.com/i-went-from-regular-tv-commentator-on-covid-to-long-covid-sufferer-in-just-a-few-months-158331
