Ahead of Long Covid Awareness Day on Sunday 15th March, this carousel highlights some of the symptoms I experienced in the first 2 years of my 6-year Long Covid journey - thankfully, only a handful remain today.

Several are still less widely recognised.

ℹ️ Clinicians & people with Long Covid: see the final slide for trusted symptom-based resources from Long Covid Support.

For International Women’s Day 2026, I was invited to contribute to a collaborative blog.

I chose two heroines who influenced me and embodied this year’s theme: Give to Gain.

When things feel tough, our attention narrows.

But you may be missing small gems in your day💎

Take a moment to pause and reflect - what was your favourite moment this week?🤔

It's ok to care deeply for your patient as a clinician.

But do you ever find that care turns into doing too much and you end up thinking:
☑️ "I ran over again."
☑️ "I should have done this."
☑️ "Maybe that would have been better".
☑️ "I didn't get everything to fit into the time we had".

Instead, make the session about the patient and be more of a collaborator by asking questions like:
✔️ “What would you most like out of our time together today?”
✔️ “Let’s make the most of our time - what would be the first/next small change you’d like to work towards?”

This shift creates space for shared responsibility and growth 🌱

It keeps you focused, they feel heard, and together you make more progress - without overdelivering.

You don’t have to carry the emotion of a patient’s story home 🏡

Compassion doesn’t mean absorbing it all.

A little space doesn't just protect you, it helps you show up even better - honouring yourself and your patients.

As clinicians, you've been made to believe that extra hours reflect your dedication to work ⌛

The healthcare system pushes you too hard, expects so much of you, and even throws more work your way. So you end up with less time and more stuff to do.

But how can you offer your patients quality care when you barely have time for yourself?

Dedication isn't measured in late nights or stretched schedules. It's in how you show up - calm, present, and grounded - again and again, both for your patients and for yourself.

When you rest, you're reenergized. And your patients deserve the version of you that is.

Self-care isn't separate from patient care - it's the foundation of it.

You can't keep pouring from an empty cup🫗

💙 Take small pauses - it’s part of the job - not something to feel guilty about, but a way to give your best to both yourself and your patients.

Burnout doesn’t always start with stress. It often begins with the need to be excellent - at the cost of your own well-being ❤️‍🩹

Your body speaks 🗣️

The more you pause, tune in, and listen, the more you can work with it 💛

Noticing what’s happening inside your body (interoceptive awareness), sometimes in relation to what’s happening around you (exteroceptive awareness), is part of embodied cognition.

This awareness supports deeper self-understanding and more intentional clinical decision-making.

💛 True confidence can grow

By noticing beliefs and habits that don’t serve you, and taking purposeful steps toward small changes in thinking or behaviour.

Self-care doesn't mean ignoring injustice.
It allows you to stay resourced enough to respond to it.

Anger and grief are valid and often necessary.
Without self-care, your capacity to act - for your patients, clients, and community - is harder to sustain and can lead to burnout.

Self-care doesn't mean you're opting out.
It’s how you protect your ability to keep showing up.

If you serve others for a living, self-care isn’t optional - it’s part of the work.

Opt in to yourself so you can opt in to supporting the people and work that matter most.
