The Post-COVID-19 Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network aims to support the best possible outcomes for people recovering from lingering symptoms after COVID-19 infection, through education, care and research.
The Network is a partnership between the provincial Ministry of Health, PHSA, Providence Health Care (which manages the provincial virtual clinic), B.C.’s regional health authorities, patients and research organizations across the province to offer resources to help those affected navigate their symptoms. The Network also offers support for primary care providers. To learn more, watch

PC-ICCN offers a province-wide virtual Post-COVID Recovery Clinic serving people throughout B.C.
You can be referred if you have a BC Services Card and you're still experiencing symptoms that limit your function and quality of life three (3) months or more post-COVID-19. Speak to your family doctor or nurse practitioner about a referral.
More about post-COVID-19 care & recovery
At the Post-COVID Recovery Clinic, patients are assessed by a nursing case manager who supports them during their time with the clinic. Patients have access to:
- Web-based educational handouts and videos
- Symptom management tools and resources
- Group education sessions hosted by allied health professionals
- Regular re-assessment of symptoms by their case manager
If clinic staff identify the need for allied health or specialist appointments as part the patient's recovery, they will facilitate this.
You can refer patients with a BC Services Card who have symptoms, persisting three (3) or more months post-COVID which limit their function and quality of life.
Other causes for symptoms must be thoroughly investigated prior to referral (see Pre Referral Diagnostic Checklist (PDF)). Your patient does not need a positive COVID test for referral.
