RNOH Lateral Flow COVID-19 Testing

Overview

Reporting results of lateral flow tests

From Monday 6 September 2021, the Trust will move to the national reporting system on the gov.uk website, this is because the current system will no longer be available to the Trust going forwards. Results should be reported on the portal:

• every time you use a rapid lateral flow test kit
• as soon as possible after you get the result.

Please note you cannot report a result after more than 24 hours and can only report one result at a time. The reporting portal can be accessed here:  https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result

Ordering lateral flow tests

From Monday 6 September 2021 all staff will need to order their lateral flow tests via the government portal.  These will no longer be available via the RNOH Procurement team.

You can place one order per day and you will sent a box of seven tests to your home address. When you are running low or need more, you can simply order more via the online gov.uk website, which can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests
