Quality Assurance of Lateral Flow Testing

Published: 06/07/2021

Students and colleagues who either test or collect home testing kits from our City Campus will also be asked to take part in a Government led Quality Assurance project from Thursday 8 July until Friday 16 July.

Those taking part will be asked to take a PCR test at the same time as their Lateral Flow Test. The PCR test will then be posted off to a lab for processing. You will not receive a result from your PCR test and should use your Lateral Flow Test result as usual.

The quality assurance programme, led by NHS and Government, is being run across universities to check the quality of Lateral Flow Test results. If you’re working on campus you should test regularly to help protect our NTU Community.
