Antibody tests for adult social care staff are being rolled out in a phased approach across England in line with the offer open to National Health Service staff. Access to antibody testing services are being set up locally and so it is likely that some regions and trusts may provide access to this service in different ways. We are working closely with the NHS, local councils and stakeholders at a national and local level to support antibody testing and ensure all staff are aware of how they can access a test.
