Design

Qualitative reflexive thematic analysis, mapped against Normalisation Process Theory.

Setting

Fifty-five and a half hours of zoom recordings of meetings between clinicians in community and secondary care long COVID clinics and members of the research team.

Participants

Allied health professionals, service delivery managers and members of the core team,
