Samenvatting

Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted access to primary care and rehabilitation services, leaving many non-hospitalized patients with persistent symptoms unsure where to seek support. Primary allied health care (pAHP) became an important source of guidance and rehabilitation in several countries. This qualitative study explored how pAHP was accessed, experienced, and delivered in the Netherlands during the early stages of the pandemic, focusing on non-hospitalized patients with lingering symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection and the allied health professionals who supported them.
