It's estimated that approximately 2 million people in England and Scotland say they are experiencing Long Covid, with 1.5 million people saying the disease affects their day-to-day activities.
The BPS hopes to bring together a group of members and experts by experience to work together to produce best practice guidelines about the physical, neurological and psychological effects of Long Covid.
It is particularly looking for applications to join the group from members who work with adults in clinical, health, neurological and counselling settings.
Dr Faith Martin, one of the group leads, said:
"Around 2 million adults are known to be living with Long Covid in the UK. It is vital that we work with experts by experience in creating good practice guidelines for psychology in work with people with Long Covid."
Please note: due to a large number of applications having been received the application period has now been closed.
