One month ago, NHS Test and Trace rolled out a new service making Covid PCR swab testing capability available to all general practices in England on a voluntary, opt in basis. Since then, over 3,100 practices have registered to use the service with 163,000 test kits ordered. To celebrate this milestone, Dr Mike Holmes, General Practitioner in Yorkshire and Clinical Advisor for GP testing in NHS Test and Trace, has written a blog to talk about his perspective of the new service and to thank his colleagues.
A short survey has been emailed to practices who have opted into the service to gain feedback and find out where the service can be improved. Please do take the time to have your say
