Long Covid Service

Service update

Unfortunately, all Long Covid services in Cheshire and Merseyside will no longer be commissioned beyond Tuesday 1 April 2025.

This decision has been made by the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB). More information about the decision can be found on the ICB’s website – www.cheshireandmerseyside.nhs.uk (search ‘long covid’).

Therefore, the Long Covid Service in Wirral will close on Monday 31 March 2025. The service will be unable to offer any appointments or support from this date.

Over the past 12 months our experienced Long Covid team has provided dedicated help, support, and education to over 290 people living with long covid in Wirral.

The team is currently contacting all patients about the changes and providing personalised patient management plans. Patients will be discharged back to the care of their GP who will continue to support Long Covid recovery.

Patients can contact the Long Covid team with any queries before Monday 31 March on 0151 651 3974.

If you wish to share any feedback about these changes, please contact the Patient Experience Team at the ICB:
