Supporting colleagues with Long COVID-19 to return to work

Following agreement at the Welsh Partnership Forum Business Committee on 8 June 2023, the arrangements for the transition from enhanced provisions to application of regular sickness absence were withdrawn with effect from 1 July 2023.  However, there are some key elements that Business Committee members from employers, trade unions and government alike felt needed to be maintained, refocussed, and again promoted within the NHS in Wales.  This element is the bespoke support that line managers need to provide to individuals with Long COVID-19 to facilitate their return to the workplace.
