Today we took the opportunity to help evaluate the latest innovative scheme to get mobile Covid-19 testing and vaccination centres out into the community. The \u2018testing bus\u2019 prototype arrived at Abingdon Prep for a trial run, offering lateral flow tests to the staff teaching the children of key workers.<\/p>\n
The idea is that any standard city bus or Sprinter van can be converted to a mobile Covid-19 testing or vaccination centre in a matter of days. It can then be dispatched to areas in the community that are either difficult to reach or require a rapid response.<\/p>\n
The company behind this latest step in combating Covid-19 is Project MOVE, based at Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire. It provides the UK\u2019s only rapidly-deployable, mobile clinical bay platform designed to be quickly installed into public buses.
