From 5 January 2022, a PCR self-testing hub is available for staff and their household contacts at the Anita Samuels Centre (health centre) in Huyton. Attendance is strictly on an appointment basis only where a member of staff will bring out the PCR kit and advise where to place it once complete.
Opening hours
The service is open Monday to Friday, 8.20am to 4pm. Demand will be monitored and adjusted accordingly with updates issued via Trust communications.
How to book an appointment
Staff should email: Homeswabbing
On receipt of your email, the team will contact you to book an appointment and collect basic demographic information. Remember to inform your line manager if you are due in work and are experiencing symptoms or have been a contact of someone who is positive. Household members can be provided with a PCR test if they have a positive LFD and require confirmation. The staff member must email on their behalf.
Results
We’re working closely with laboratories in Whiston Hospital to turn around swab results within 24 hours. You will receive these by text message to your mobile phone. On receipt of your results, please inform your manager at the earliest opportunity to ensure you receive the appropriate support and that continuity of services and safe staffing levels can be managed.
Location of Anita Samuels Centre
4 Ellison Grove, Huyton, L36 9GA. As you arrive at the top of the hill, press the barrier buzzer and you will be let through.
Please do not attend without an appointment.
