PACCS Initial Assessment

This guidance has been developed to support healthcare professionals across Primary and Secondary Care in Scotland to undertake an initial assessment of patients with Post-infection and Associated Complex Chronic Syndromes (PACCS). This is an expansion on the original Initial Assessment for Long COVID as services evolve to cover other similar long-term conditions.
