The Pan London children and young people's Post-COVID service has received funding to continue for at least another year from April. 

This tertiary service serves the whole of London. Referrals are received by paediatricians and GPs for those over 16 years and consists of a virtual MDT for initial advice and resources to referrers, and a physical face-to-face MDT assessment clinic at both Evelina Children's Hospital (South) and UCLH (North) and ongoing support for those more severe in collaboration with local services.

Please see the link to the page where the referral form and information can be found. Patients can also be supported using leaflets and videos on their COVID recovery (see Resources).  

NHS England has published clinical guidance on assessing and managing children and young people with symptoms of post-COVID syndrome.

The paediatric post-COVID pathway mirrors the NCL adult pathway, and recommends triage and assessment in primary care before referring onwards when specialist advice is required.

Referral is initially to local paediatric services, either after discussion with paediatrics or via rapid referral clinic route. Paediatrics will assess and refer on to the paediatric virtual multi-disciplinary team (MDT) as necessary, who will give advice or divert to the tertiary post-COVID service at UCLH for those with severe or complex symptoms where required.

If there any problems or delays in the referral process, contact london.cyppostcovid@nhs.net
