The Health Foundation supported a Channel 4 documentary, Surviving COVID, to enhance understanding of the impact of the pandemic.

This series of four short videos delve further into the issues raised by the documentary. They are drawn from footage captured by the filmmakers Sandpaper Films as part of Surviving COVID, along with additional perspectives and experiences. The series aims to highlight the different ways that COVID-19 has affected people, their families, health care workers and the health system.

In this film, COVID-19 and the long road to recovery, we explore the complex care needs of people who have been severely ill with COVID-19, many of whom have gone on to experience long-lasting and serious health problems.
