When we first developed our COVID-19 testing service in April 2020 it was to support front line health care workers in GP surgeries and care homes local to our laboratories in Abingdon (Oxfordshire) and Chorley (Lancashire).
Following those pioneering days of COVID-19 testing Cellmark’s service was audited and approved by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). We subsequently received DHSC funding to provide tens of thousands of 24 hour laboratory PCR tests at our laboratories to support regional outbreak testing and the government’s national testing programme for care homes.
Everyone at Cellmark is proud of their involvement in providing rapid PCR testing services to help keep the staff and residents safe, in care homes across England and Wales.
Cellmark have been an invaluable help to us over the past months. I have been particularly impressed with their efficiency in getting the results back to us so quickly
