• The walk-in clinics are supervised, and when I did one I was encouraged to change the angle of approach into my brain to get a bit deeper

    Not the one I did (Sobell, Islington). It was literally "here's a kit and an instruction poster and a folding table with a grotty makeup mirror. Let us know when you're done". I didn't get the feeling anyone there was medically trained.

    Interesting. I wonder how much the council is playing a role. The one I went to (Hackney Central) was set up similarly, except every station had someone supervising the testee. I don't think my person was a nurse or anything, but she seemed to be trained in the administration of this particular test.

  • In the LB Hillingdon the Council have made (currently underused) buildings available for the local NHS to set up, as either Testing (Beck Theatre), or Vaccination (Ruislip Young People's hall), centres.
    No Council staff involved.

  • Haringey was also a kit and an instruction poster and a folding table with a grotty makeup mirror and you just handed it over at the end.
