Patients of all ages can participate in virology sampling by requesting a swab kit at the earliest sign of respiratory symptoms i.e. cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath. The swabs are used to monitor the spread of several respiratory viruses, like influenza (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), in different regions throughout the winter. Please visit https://takeatestuk.com/ to request sampling kit. Please enter N81047 as your voucher code. Patients will also need to enter their NHS number to request a self-swab kit. Please continue to seek medical advice if unwell.
