Assessing the impact of testing for COVID-19 using lateral flow devices in NHS acute trusts in England

2024-06-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Twice-weekly lateral flow device (LFD) testing was introduced for routine asymptomatic testing of healthcare workers (HCWs) in the National Health Service (NHS) in England in November 2020, with the primary aim of reducing nosocomial infections among staff and patients and a secondary aim of reducing absenteeism among HCWs. Here, we describe the burdens of HCW absenteeism and nosocomial infecti...
