The PCR antigen test can produce a number of outcomes:

• A negative result indicates that you are not shedding the virus at the current time.
• A positive result indicates that you are actively infective and will be required to self-isolate for the minimum number of days as directed by the UK Government.
• In the event that the sample is taken incorrectly it is also possible your result will be recorded as failed, and a re-test will be required in this circumstance.

Swabbing Consent

You are giving permission to have a PCR test which involves:

• Taking a swab from the back of the throat and from inside of the nose with the same sample. This may induce the gag reflex but should not be painful.
• Then placing the same swab gently inside one nostril and gently wiping around the inside of the nose.

following the sample collection, placing the swab in the collection tube and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The result will usually be available within 48 hours from when the sample is received by the laboratory.
