Questions about research into Long Covid? Ask the expert!

The public are invited to a webinar to ask questions of a leading specialist about the latest research into Long Covid.

Professor Nawar Bakerly (pictured, above) will take questions in an ‘ask the expert’ event on Wednesday 10 May from 7pm to 8pm. Professor Bakerly is a respiratory consultant at Salford Royal, part of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust.

He is leading Long Covid research in Greater Manchester and in March 2023 was co-author of a research paper which may provide an important first step on the road to possible treatments for Long Covid. 

How can I sign up? 

Guests must sign up in advance using the event registration form, where they can enter their question for the expert. They will also be able to ask their question during the event in the text box provided. 

Those unable to attend can provide their email address using the form so they can be sent a link to a recording of the event.

The event is hosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), a Department of Health and Social Care-funded organisation that works to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research.

It will be hosted on a standard video conferencing service, which can be accessed through a computer browser or app for devices. Details of the link to follow will be emailed in the lead up to the webinar.
