Project #18:
Understanding to what extent the actual treatment of people with ongoing symptoms of COVID-19 matches published NICE guidance?

We need to know to what extent the actual treatment of people with ongoing symptoms of COVID-19 matches published NICE guidance. This corresponds to carrying out an audit. If differences are found, NICE could use the information either to improve the presentation of guidelines or improve its implementation work.

This study uses OpenSAFELY data to compare summarised information from GP records against NICE’s guidelines for long-term effects of COVID-19.
