ABSTRACT Introduction The rapidly increasing prevalence of long-COVID (LC), the multisystem complexity condition and high patient symptom burden, necessitated an immediate need to develop new clinics for assessment management. This article reports on rapid implementation a reactive responsive LC care pathway. We mapped patients’ journey through this pathway, identifying services that were activated according prevalent symptoms, assessed barriers facilitators its delivery, from perspective health professionals (HCPs) patients using Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). Methods Mixed methods study, including retrospective quantitative cross-sectional analysis data semi-structured qualitative interviews. One hundred sixteen who attended clinic in Hertfordshire, UK, first 5 months existence, consented their be analysed study. Six HCPs five participated Results Patients referred into service average 5.75 post initial COVID-19 infection. 82% required onward referral other HCPs, most commonly pulmonary rehabilitation, chronic fatigue specialists, specialist Rehab general practitioner embedded within service. reported having rehabilitation needs, moderate depression anxiety, difficulties performing usual activities daily living at point care. TDF domains relevant pathway beliefs about capabilities, environmental context resources, knowledge, reinforcement . Discussion Our study provides novel insight development multidisciplinary Key drivers successful identified, such as leadership, teamwork, transferable skills, knowledge exchange. Barriers set up included funding constraints evolution emergency context.
