The principles of and evidence on rehabilitation will allow an effective response. These include a simple screening process; use of a multidisciplinary expert team; four evidence-based classes of intervention (exercise, practice, psychosocial support, and education particularly about self-management); and a range of tailored interventions for other problems. The large number of COVID-19 patients needing rehabilitation coupled with the backlog remaining from the crisis will challenge existing services. The principles underpinning vital service reconfigurations needed are discussed.}, issn = {1470-2118}, URL = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/20/4/359}, eprint = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/20/4/359.full.pdf}, journal = {Clinical Medicine} }
