In the first of two episodes on Long COVID, Dr Hannah Preston discusses Long COVID and ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) with Dr Binita Kane.
Long COVID, also known as Post-Covid Syndrome, is explored in depth, including prevalence, risk factors, symptoms and impact, pathophysiology, and management. Dr Kane also busts some common myths about Long COVID.
Dr Binita Kane is a Consultant respiratory physician in Manchester. She has worked on the frontline of the pandemic since 2020 and set up the first COVID virtual ward model in the UK and has advised nationally on the role of virtual wards across England. In January 2021, Dr Kane’s 10 year old daughter developed COVID and subsequently Long COVID. This has led her on an international search for answers, culminating in her becoming a campaigner, researcher, patient advocate, champion for the Long COVID Kids charity and now a specialist Long COVID physician. Dr Kane is a member of the World Health Network Long COVID Executive Committee, Independent SAGE and a campaigner for clean air.
