Testing for Covid-19 is about to become a way of life until a vaccine is available.
The Covid-19 Testing Booth is intended to make the process as simple and safe as possible for both the patient and the tester. Use of the booth reduces the amount of disposable PPE required and enables a quick turnaround of patients.
Designed to be sited in specific testing locations or positioned outside A&E rooms, shopping centres or supermarkets the inherent safe operation process enables the booth to be safely sited anywhere.

Safety Benefits
The Covid-19 Testing Booth gives critical additional safety to our Front Line NHS testers allowing them to stay behind a protective barrier. Offering more than regular PPE, the booth prevents patients coughing or breathing directly onto NHS staff.
Testers take the samples within a protected environment whilst maintaining friendly face-to-face contact. Testing using the booth is safer than drive-in car testing as staff are not leaning into an enclosed potentially contaminated car environment.
Practical Benefits
Hundreds of patients per day can be tested with a very quick turnaround time between patients. The testers do not need to change PPE between testings to prevent cross-contamination. The booths are easy to disinfect inside and out with smooth surfaces, minimal seams and edges. Optional antimicrobial paint can be specified. The booths are delivered ready to use manufactured from a durable powder coated steel construction.
Costing Benefits
Reduced PPE changes to prevent cross-contamination reduces the amount of PPE waste and relieves pressure on PPE demand. Staff costs per patient will be lower due to the higher numbers of patients that can be processed per day. Testing at the booths keeps patients away from cost intensive facilities such as A&E and doctors surgeries. Booths can be set up outside traditional medical facilities to remove the possibility of contaminating the hospital or surgery.
