Coronavirus: Community nursing faces ‘rehabilitation disaster’ as Covid leaves thousands in need Shaun Lintern
Coronavirus in numbers
Tens of thousands of coronavirus survivors needing long-term care are heaping pressure on Britain’s stretched community services, threatening a crisis that experts warn could dwarf that seen in hospitals over the past 12 months.
As many as 100,000 intensive care patients, including up to 15,000 Covid-19 survivors, will need long-term community nursing care after being discharged from hospitals during the past 12 months,
The Independent has been told.
This will be on top of an as yet unknown number of Covid patients from the 350,000 treated on general wards since the pandemic began, as well as tens of thousands of people who were sick without going to hospital but have been left with debilitating symptoms of long Covid.

A Skye woman is the only nurse within NHS Highland to have been accepted onto the Queen’s Nursing Institute for Scotland programme.
Helen Gilpin, Highlands’ lead nurse for looked-after and care-experienced children and young people is now working towards the prestigious Queen’s Award.
Helen, who lives in Kensaleyre, was nominated and went through a rigorous selection and interview process to be accepted onto the programme.
This institute was established by Queen Victoria in the late 1800s.
Very few nurses are accepted onto the programme and Helen is the only nurse from the NHS Highland area.
They were developed in collaboration with the QNI Care Home Nurse Network and focus mainly on care homes for older residents who require nursing care.
Sharon Aldridge-Bent, director of nursing programmes (leadership) at the QNI, who leads the care home nurse programme of work, said: There has been a realisation across the health and care sector that nursing staff working in care homes support a unique area of practice and a very high level of responsibility in delivering care in settings that are complex and can involve multiple issues of physical and mental health dependency among residents.

“This has been brought into even sharper focus by the pandemic and we have seen a greater focus on care homes than ever before in the past year.
