National Viral Swabbing Campaign
We are proud to announce that our surgery is now enrolled in a national swabbing program. This important initiative is designed to help identify which viruses are circulating in the community, so that future health measures can be better targeted to protect everyone.
How it works
- If you have experienced a viral or flu like illness within the last 7 days (any age) you can take part.
- If you have been in contact with the surgery, you may receive a text message from us.
- The message will invite you to take part in the program and provide a link to request a home swabbing kit.
- Simply visit https://takeatest.com and enter our voucher code: L83103.
- A swab kit will be sent directly to your home.
- Complete the swab following the instructions provided, then return it by post.
Why it matters
- Your participation helps researchers understand which viruses are affecting people right now.
- This knowledge guides national health planning and protects the public from future outbreaks.
- Every swab returned contributes to vital research that saves lives.
Benefits for you and the community
- Quick and easy process from the comfort of your home.
- No cost to you - the kit and return postage are free.
