LMS UKAS Applicant REG: 22418

UKAS LABS CAN NO LONGER TEST PCR SAMPLES WITHOUT THE ACTUAL CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE PERSON BEING TESTED

From 01/Jan/2000 All Covid Testing Services, including Rapid & Home Tests,  are regulated by PHE who require UKAS registration.  Any PCR test booked where incorrect contact information is supplied is invalid (i.e. same phone number or email for more than one test or wrong date of birth) cannot now be processed by the lab (or they will loose UKAS accreditation), you will still be changed and will have to re-book.

It is a requirement to accurately provide NHS Test & Trace contact information for every PCR test conducted, irrespective of the result. This includes actual name, date of birth, email address and phone number of the person being tested. This information must be supplied at the time of Test Booking, We validate this information with the person being tested automatically and thus, given this is a wholly automated process,  the direct contact details need to be accurate.

When booking using your production password, your results email will automatically be added to the booking, thus please ensure the Phone Number & Email address entered on the booking form is that of the person being tested and not a production contact.  If you use the credit card booing form, there is a ‘Copy Results to’ field if you have permission from the person being tested to see their results.

RT-PCR TEST TURNAROUND TIMES

We have contracts for laboratory capacity, as some of you have noticed, our turn around times can be very quick on occasion.  Some productions are starting to ‘expect’ results next day. If a large batch arrives ahead of your samples, unless they are paid for urgent processing, they may well go onto the next mornings run, so please don’t count of next day results!

 Our routine SLA remains 48Hrs from delivery to the LAB. This is due to the fact that some tests require re-testing & unless you use a dedicated courier, afternoon tests may not be sent till the next day.

 For £299 plus a dedicated courier cost (£75 M-F) we can Express Test up to 5 samples, if we test before 1200 we can provide results before 0800 the next day.

Covid-19 Testing Services

LMS are can announce we have launched our Covid-19 Testing Services - We are giving priority to our Film, TV & Event Clients - Click Here for more information

LMS has worked with the British Red Cross providing Health Care Professionals and Ambulance support to their Event First Aid teams for many years.

It comes as a shock to learn that the British Red Cross will no longer provide any first aid cover or event medical support as of 31st December 2019, with the unit formally closing down in March 2020, as per the statement by the Red Cross CEO below. We are working with Red Cross volunteers & Ambulance Crews to understand if we can find any roles within LMS, although historically we have not employed first-aiders, we appreciate many of the Red Cross volunteer had extended training. Red Cross Team Members can apply to join LMS Here

We are also working with, and happy to hear from, any event organisers who have been left without medical cover for their events in 2020 especially as the other voluntary, aid society St John Ambulance, are often at capacity over the summer in the South East and call on our services regularly to help cover their events. We understand our pricing model has not been significantly different from the Red Cross in many circumstances, even though we deploy professional staff.

Michael Adamson, chief executive of British Red Cross, said: “In recent years, we have seen increasing pressures on both our income and the demands for our assistance, which means we must prioritise how we use every pound donated to us.”

“Unfortunately, our event first aid work has been running at a financial loss for some time – the service still requires £1.8m of donations annually to cover the shortfall between income and costs – and this is diverting vital funds from our efforts to provide emergency support for major domestic and global crises.”

“So it is with real sadness that we have taken the very difficult decision to close our event first aid service by 31 March, 2020.”

London to Brighton Classic Car Run 

@VeteranCarRun

LMS were fortunate to be involved in the classic London to Brighton car run.

Starting in Hyde Park we had medics as bike responders, in rapid response cars and paramedic ambulances covering the whole route, 

The participants are dedicated to getting their machines to the finish,  occasionally doing some engineering enroute, this was the only source a couple of very minor injuries that required our attention. 

Large crowds formed at the finish to see the incredible sight of these many priceless vintage vehicles cross the finish line.

The weather was a touch bracing, however, this was more than made up for by the absence of the forecast rain and glorious blue skies.
