8. How often should I test for COVID and how do I obtain COVID tests?

A reminder that it is our expectation that you complete COVID testing a minimum of once per week and are reporting the results of your latest test to us. Even if you are in a substantive post elsewhere, we still require that you report the results of the test conducted in your substantive post. This is for your protection, your loved ones and the clients that you care for.

You must report the results of your latest test to us using the form here. We advise you to save or bookmark the link in your smartphone or other device used so you can easily access it. We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) relating to COVID-19 testing. To read these, please click here.

9. Do I need to be vaccinated for COVID?

The government has announced that it is due to mandate as a legal requirement for all health and social care workers to be fully vaccinated by 1st April 2022. This is to ensure both yourself and the clients that you care for are protected against COVID-19.

If you’ve not yet been fully vaccinated (this includes both your first and second vaccination), please be aware that you will need to receive both vaccinations by the 1st April deadline. To meet this deadline, you will have need to have had your first jab by 3rd February 2022. Failing to meet this deadline, could impact your ability to book shifts with us by a number of weeks.

You can book your vaccination online on the NHS website or you can attend your local walk-in centre as a priority walk-in by showing your Pulse Nursing at Homevaccination letter on arrival.
