COVID Testing Kits in Euston
The test used by our nurses are the SARS-COV2 Rapid Antigen Tests, a rapid type of test used to detect specific antigens present in the human nasopharynx. These easy-to-use tests can identify a current infection whilst the virus is present in large amounts in the upper respiratory tract and are vital as an aid to not only protect employees but help reduce any potential asymptomatic spread of the virus.
How the screening process works
There are certain steps to follow in order to undergo the screening process, which a healthcare professional will carry out at offices in Euston. When the COVID antigen tests are booked, one of our nurses will be sent to your office premises, bringing the testing kits with them. You can expect the test to take around 15 to 20 minutes to produce results.
This screening process is a simple to follow six-step process, from which the following will occur:
- The screening test will be performed by a healthcare professional sent to your offices near Euston. Before starting, check that you do not have any coronavirus symptoms and you will be asked to supply to confirm your identity.
- A brief medical history will be taken. You will need to tell the nurse if you have had any recent trauma or surgery. If you also suffer from epistaxis (nose bleeds) or have a deviated septum, nasal swab testing will not be suitable, and another type of test will have to be arranged.
- You will have to sign a consent form before the screening process is able to commence. During this time, the nurse will ask which nostril you prefer to be swabbed.
- The swab will then be inserted into your nostril, until it reaches the surface of the posterior nasopharynx. During this process, the swab will be rotated and then removed from the nostril. Some discomfort may be felt as part of this process and this part will only take a few seconds.
- Extraction buffer solution is then mixed with the swab, with 3 drops then being applied to the testing device to determine a positive or negative result.
- You will have to wait 15-20 minutes for a positive or negative test result to be given, and your health care professional will explain the results to you.
Understanding the results
Anyone who receives a positive test will be directed to the latest information by the nurse if required, and will immediately have the self-isolate and following government guidelines.
