COVID-19 swab testing for UBHW Trust NHS staff at Ashton Gate

Monday, April 6th 2020

A mobile Bristol Ambulance crew has based itself at Ashton Gate Stadium where University Hospitals Bristol & Weston Trust NHS staff are now able to take a COVID-19 swab test.

The 'drive-thru' testing facility in the Winterstoke car park is for staff of the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UBHW staff).

This includes all staff working at the BRI, The Bristol Eye Hospital, The Dental hospital, The South Bristol Community Hospital and Weston General.

As the mobile crew are set up as a 'drive-thru', people visiting will be able to take the test without needing to leave their cars. Staff will also be offered a test at their home if required.

Please note, there are NO walk-ups. Every appointment has to be pre-arranged through line manager within the Trust.
