Drop off points for LAMP testing samples added

March 12, 2021

The roll out continues for all colleagues to switch to LAMP (Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification) testing and as a result we are increasing the number of collection boxes across our sites and in the community.

Drop off points are now available at the following community venues:

  • Neptune Health Park, first floor, Sedgley Road West, Tipton.
  • The Lyng Centre for Health and Social Care, second floor clinical suite, Frank Fisher Way, West Bromwich.
  • Oldbury Health Centre, ground floor, Albert Street, Oldbury.
  • Victoria Health Centre, ground floor, Suffrage Street, Smethwick.
  • Rowley Regis Hospital, outpatients.

Collection boxes at our acute sites are situated in these areas:

  • Phlebotomy, first floor outpatients, Sandwell Hospital.
  • Corridor D and Phlebotomy ground floor, Birmingham Treatment Centre, City Hospital.

More drop off points at our acute sites are planned and will be available shortly. We’ll keep you updated via the COVID-19 Bulletin as to where these will be.

LAMP testing is a speedy and reliable COVID-19 test which requires you to collect a saliva sample in the morning before you brush your teeth or have your breakfast.  When you arrive at work, you can deposit your sample into a collection box – and you’ll receive your result within 24 hours.

If you haven’t already, you can now book a kit collection slot by calling 0121 507 2664 and selecting option 6.
