In this episode I talk about swallowing problems as experienced by Long Covid sufferers. In Part 1, I talked about the symptoms, diagnosis and causes. In this second part, I will talk about the treatments, management and outcomes for Long Covid swallowing problems.

I am Dr Tim Robinson, formerly a GP for 30 years, retired as planned at the start of the Covid pandemic. Since then I have become involved in the world of Long Covid. Currently I am GP clinical lead for Long Covid NHS in South West England, as well as GP lead for three NHS Long Covid Services - Dorset, Bristol and South Devon. I am also Clinical Lead for Hope for the Community CIC. I have research involvement as co-investigator in a study on breathlessness in Long Covid, University of Bristol.
