Description:
COVID-19 UK Non-hospital Antigen Testing Results (Pillar 2) data is required by NHS Digital to support COVID-19 requests for linkage, analysis and dissemination to other organisations. These requests are often urgent and in support of direct care and service monitoring, planning and research. These are all functions that NHS Digital have been asked to deliver as a national resource in response to COVID-19, through the recent direction from the SoS.
Antigen test results relate to subjects who have had swab testing in the community at drive through test centres, walk in centres, home kits returned by posts, care homes, prisons etc.
The dataset is composed of:
• Patient identity and contact details
• Testing centre and laboratory details
• Test results • Test kit types (manufacturer)
The data cover the UK and is collected under SoS Covid Direction under s254 of the HSCA 2012 and s255 requests from devolved administrations for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. This is an expansion of the original scope which only included data for welsh patients tested in other parts of the UK.
Data is currently available for dissemination through the NHS Digital DARS service for England. If your extract is to include data from the devolved administrations their approval will also be required.
Timescales for dissemination can be found under "Our Service Levels" at the following link: [https://digital.nhs.uk/services/data-access-request-service-dars/data-access-request-service-dars-process](https://digital.nhs.uk/services/data-access-request-service-dars/data-access-request-service-dars-process)
