Bromley Healthcare is launching a new pilot service to support adults living with persistent symptoms that may have developed after Covid, another illness, or as part of a long-term condition.
The Living Well with Multiple Symptoms pilot builds on the success of Bromley’s Post-Covid Service and aims to support people who are often left without clear care pathways. The service will take a holistic, mind-body approach, offering personalised support to help patients better understand and manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and regain confidence.
The service is open to Bromley residents aged 18 and over who are experiencing three or more symptoms that have lasted for more than 12 weeks. Common symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, pain, dizziness, low mood and sleep problems.
Natalie Martlew, Service Lead, said:
“We know there are people living with complex, overlapping symptoms who haven’t quite fit into existing services. This pilot is about meeting them where they are, taking a joined-up approach, and offering the time and support to make daily life feel more manageable again.”
The new offer comes in response to growing recognition that many people with long-term, fluctuating symptoms are not getting the help they need through traditional services. Clinicians involved in the pilot have already received powerful feedback through their work in the Post-Covid Service.
A patient said:
“You have done more than any other single person…in fact, more than multiple teams and agencies…to help me as I’ve become unwell and faced disability. I was truly blessed for you to come into my life when I was in such desperate need.”
How to access the service
As this is a pilot, the service is not currently open to self-referrals. If you think you might benefit, please speak to your GP or consultant who can make a referral on your behalf.
The team is encouraging GPs, healthcare professionals and local partners to get in touch if they are supporting someone who may benefit.
