THREAD // Key Worker Testing

We are aware of some social media posts regarding testing for key workers and wanted to provide some clarity. There are three sites for health & social care staff – in Aberdeen (ARI), Huntly and Elgin. (1/5)

This testing is open to all Health and Social Care staff regardless of whether they are employed by NHS Grampian, HSCP, Local Authority, an NHS Grampian volunteer or private care provider, providing they are either symptomatic themselves... (2/5)

...or isolating due to the symptoms of their household contacts.

All relevant information, including an updated FAQ, can be found at https://covid19.nhsgrampian.org/pages/for-nhs-grampian-staff/staff-covid-19-testing/ (3/5)

There is also a testing site located at Aberdeen Airport, open to our other key workers (e.g. other local authority, Police, Fire Service) to access quick and efficient testing for COVID-19. (4/5)

This is not directly run by NHS Grampian and should not be accessed by health & social care staff.​ (5/5) // END
