Ballet Dreams Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just now, Lara Eschler said: We were told not to use this method if asymptomatic. Will you have to isolate as a household? and also as you said it is still risky in terms of getting the results on time though we might try that way... For the lateral flow test, as they are a government a initiative, they should only be used to test staff or secondary school pupils. My ds school also have their own SAMBA machine for testing and are unwilling to test him even if you paid for it. Oh no what a shame. I really hope you find some way to get your DC tested.

I think the rapid antigen comes back in 15 mins and if you go to the test centre the company can email you the result. I haven’t found anywhere where we are though in Devon nearest was Bristol or Cardiff. I stopped looking when I managed to source a test through our secondary school.

I thought someone had said that these tests you can get if you are a healthcare worker are ok aslong as you register it online? Hope you get sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballerina_girl Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Has anyone had their interview times through? can you confirm you had it in hour minute second format?

Yes ours was the independent GP I think who have clinics in Cardiff Newport and Swansea...there are loads of lateral flow tests you can use at home but RBS won't allow unfortunately! Tried BUPA too but couldn't only find a home test. Xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancermom Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) We are lucky, I’m in a place where they are offering free lateral flow tests but I don’t want to book it yet as we havnt had a confirmed date. There’s 3 possible dates for the girls. They did say on the interview email today that we’ll know ‘shortly’ so I’m sure will be Thursday or Friday x Edited February 23, 2021 by Dancermom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that WL themselves are currently coming up with a plan to solve this problem that so many are having. We're still waiting to see if DSs school will let us use one of their (staff) tests... BTW your DS has his interview just after ours! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermom Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hopefully RBS will know of the difficulty some are facing getting the tests and come up with a plan.

They will be testing all the current WL kids returning, so surely will be setting up testing on site? Also they are as keen to see candidates in person as we are to attend in person. They've had several emails from people on this forum alone about the problems so they must know! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Lara, could you borrow an address? My local council in London is offering lateral flow tests and you don’t need proof of address. It does say it’s for those who live or work in the area, but they don’t seem to check. All it says you need to bring is: confirmation of your booking - the confirmation email on your mobile device or printed out a mobile device to scan a QR or bar code on the test. There will be devices available if you don’t have your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you message me (privately if you wish) if you know of a borough who does not require proof of address? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
