Background Long COVID describes new or persistent symptoms at least 4 weeks after onset of acute COVID-19. Clinical codes to describe this phenomenon were recently created. Aim To the use long-COVID codes, and variation by general practice, demographic variables, over time. Design setting Population-based cohort study in English primary care. Method Working on behalf NHS England, OpenSAFELY data used encompassing 96% population between 1 February 2020 25 May 2021. The proportion people with...

New patient-centric integrated care models are enabled by the capability to exchange patient's data amongst stakeholders, who each specialise in different aspects of care. This requires a robust, trusted and flexible mechanism for patients offer consent share their data. Furthermore, new IT technologies make it easier give more control over data, including right revoke consent. These characteristics challenge traditional paper-based, single-organisation-led process. The Dovetail digital...
