Testing
The PCAS team is here to support staff and household/index testing. As you can imagine the team is extremely busy so please be patient - they will contact you as soon as possible.
-
If you are symptomatic and need a test: please email ghnt.staffcovidtesting@nhs.net and provide your contact number. Appointments can be booked between 8:00 - 17:30, 7 days a week.
-
If a member of your household has symptoms: please email ghnt.staffcovidtesting@nhs.net and provide your contact number, plus the name and number of the person who needs the test. Appointments can be booked between 8:00 - 17:30, 7 days a week.
-
A member of the PCAS admin team will then contact you to arrange an appointment at the QEH site (Windy Nook car park area) at the drive-thru testing service.
-
Once completed, the person tested will be provided with an advice sheet and the results of the test will be texted to them within 24 hours.
-
It is your responsibility to keep your line manager informed about your absence, including any change to your circumstances as a result of a household/index testing result.
If you have any questions please speak to your line manager in the first instance – please try to keep calls to the PCAS admin team to a minimum to free their time to contact staff and arrange testing.
Thank you for your support.
