CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION
The impact of the Coronavirus is being felt right across the UK and Ireland and beyond and I hope that you, your family, your staff and all your patients remain safe and well.
In a time of uncertainty, I want to offer personal reassurance that nothing is more important than the health and well being of our own employees and their families. With this in regard, and with close adherence to government guidance, we shall remain open and operational, albeit, at a reduced capacity. A system of skeleton staff, coinciding with staggered shifts will be in operation within the next few days. Of course, this may change depending upon government advice.
Therefore, it may be inevitable that this may induce some disruption in our day to day operations. But we shall endeavour to complete cases within the requested time frame.
We are actively disinfecting all work entering and leaving the laboratory so you can be reassured that we are taking as many appropriate hygiene measures as possible for you and your patients. Also, additional hygiene practices have been implemented throughout the laboratory.
In the case of lockdown when instructed by UK government, any completed work will be dispatched immediately. Work in progress will be taken to the stage as far as we can possibly go. For work in transit to the laboratory, impressions will be poured and then subsequently, will be placed on hold until normal operations are permitted to resume. We cannot guarantee however, that postal work in transit to the laboratory will be received in time for processing.
It will be irresponsible to believe that this virus will bypass us completely and avoid any interruption. Even though we have no reported Coronavirus cases to date, we are introducing operational practices that hopefully will have as much negative impact as possible on your routines.

With best regards,
Stephen Ginn RDT, MDTA Managing Director
