STIMULATE-ICP

A consortium of researchers, health professionals, patients and industry partners from over 30 organisations, led by University College London Hospitals NHS Trust and University College London, work together in the largest clinical study of long COVID to-date. As countries around the world struggle to cope and recover from successive waves of the pandemic, this NIHR-funded research programme will inform medium and longer-term policy and health system responses.

STIMULATE-ICP will deliver knowledge to clinicians and scientists, evidence to policymakers, and improved care to patients, while collecting real-world data at scale. The team spans a wide range of relevant clinical and academic disciplines including primary care and specialist services, epidemiology, mental health and health economics.  It also includes four patient groups who helped develop the research proposals.
