It is a legal requirement that you report each test result - including negative results. You can do this by completing a simple online form which you can access using this link: nwbstafftesting.xmerseyhc.nhs.uk

If possible, use an alternative to Internet Explorer such as Google Chrome or Safari.

If your test result is positive using a Lateral Flow Test:

  • Make a note of the date of your test – you will need it later to input your follow-up test result

  • Immediately report your result to your line manager or deputy and isolate with your household.

  • Arrange a confirmatory PCR test (this is the standard test carried out at a testing centre) through our internal testing team: covid.testing@nwbh.nhs.uk

  • You will need to report the result of your follow-up PCR test using the online system (even if it is negative). You will need to know the date you took your lateral flow home test when you received a positive result. Log your results using this link: nwbstafftesting.xmerseyhc.nhs.uk/capturePCRTest

  • If your PCR test is positive, inform your line manager or deputy and isolate in line with government guidance.
