CCGs/Local systems have worked diligently to overcome various challenges to complete the Antibody testing offer to GP practice staff within a short timescale.
As you are aware NEL has been working on arrangements for the roll-out of the testing offer to the wider NHS staffing groups. As of Monday 29 June, these arrangements are now live and are available to supplement the existing provisions for GP practices in north east London. The NEL offer now includes General Practice staff, community pharmacy, clinical commissioning groups, STP and the NEL Commissioning Support Unit.
The blood test is available through a booked appointment at either the Royal London Hospital or the King George Hospital site. Appointment slots are available from Tuesday 30 June 2020. During this early phase of the roll out there will be limited number of appointment slots available in the first week. The number of available appointment slots will be regularly reviewed by both Barts Health and BHRUT to ensure that everyone who wants to have a test will be able to access one.
If you have feedback or issues accessing the portal or booking a slot, please email thccg.stafftesting.nelondoncoronavirus@nhs.net
Thank you for all your continued support.
