COVID19

Testimonials

“Healthwork worked with us during the Bio-Secure environment for International Cricket. They worked closely with us and they helped us to set up robust systems for vulnerability screening. They worked with people on the ground to ensure these were implemented effectively and they provided calm and reassurance to the environment. They were extremely flexible with regards to support and worked closely alongside us at all times to ensure our needs were being met. They also provided us with valuable on the ground feedback about how things could be improved and worked effectively with all our stakeholders. 

Healthworks’s expertise, professionalism and support, particularly at the beginning of the set up, has been invaluable to us as an organisation. We have nothing other than positive comments regarding Healthwork and would highly recommend them as a team. They go the extra mile and most importantly they are strong collaborators and communicators who will work with a team and help them to get the best possible outcomes.”

Lead Physician, England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB)

“With over 800 COVID19 tests being carried out, we are pleased to say that this operation went very smoothly. Healthwork were fully aware of the current Health & Safety requirements and adhered to current COVID PPE requirements.

Healthwork were friendly and professional with our employees, putting them at ease and keeping them fully up to date of the current status of each test and the result.”

Individual vulnerability questionnaires & individual risk assessment 

• Before anyone can be involved, we perform comprehensive medical screening to grade the risk of each person developing severe coronavirus infection to judge whether they are fit to be involved in the event
• We use a validated screening tool and clinical judgement to advise on whether the individual is low risk (green), medium risk (yellow), or high risk (red)
• We also provide bespoke recommendations for each individual to minimise risk as much as possible
• For ‘high risk’ individuals, we will work with the employer/event organiser to see if there are ways that the person can be involved in the event remotely or with additional protections in place

Daily individual COVID-19 symptom questionnaires

•  All persons involved complete a comprehensive daily screening symptom questionnaire tool via the web/app to ensure that no individual with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 can enter the bio-secure bubble

Covid-19 antigen swab testing

• We provide a regular testing surveillance programme for all individuals involved with the event
  

On site nurse and doctor presence

•  At venues, we provide an on-site clinician at the entry point to ensure all persons are fit to enter the bio-secure environment
• At all sites where we have been present, we have also run a simple daily clinic to provide on-site medical clinic for staff, so they do not need to leave the bio-secure bubble for medical attention

Temperature scanning

•  We provide and manage thermal scanning solutions
• We have also at certain areas of venues provided and managed the use of infrared forehead thermometers

Organisational risk assessment

•  We visit all sites/venues involved in the event to provide an assessment of environmental risks with regards to COVID-19 and provide bespoke advice on how to mitigate these
• We have undertaken these at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, The Ageas Bowl, Worcestershire CCC, and Derbyshire CCC to support the resumption of international cricket in England.  We have also done site audits/risk assessments at a number of other workplaces/venues.

24/7 on call doctor led support

• Our expert medical team, led by Dr Tok Hussain (Consultant Occupational health Physician) are available to provide support and answer queries that managers/organisers may have at any time during the event

Strategic consultancy advice in the development of the policies & procedures that are key to good corporate governance & risk mitigation

•  Our all-encompassing programme ensures that the COVID-19 risks at any important  event or venue are minimised and will give staff, contractors & all attendees the confidence that everything is being done to reduce the risk to minimal levels

Drop in service/Postal Service/Home Collections and Onsite Testing

We can perform naso-pharyngeal swab testing tt one of our clinics or on your site.

COVID-19 antibody test - this is a laboratory based test.  We would collect a blood sample and send it to our partner laboratory, where the Abbott COVID-19 antibody test would be performed.  Results would be returned in about 24 to 48 hours.

COVID-19 instant antibody test - this is a finger-prick rapid antibody test which will give a result in about 15 minutes.

We are able to do antibody testing at our offices or on worksites.  Alternatively, we can can do the testing by a member of our testing team visiting the individual at home.

Our fully trained and certified friendly testing teams will visit your sites and perform the necessary testing.  This should allow employees to get back to work or allow events to proceed at venues.  We are currently performing this mass-testing on a regular basis in a number of workplaces and sporting events as well as other venues. 

We rapidly report results so that individuals who are clear of symptoms and clear of evidence of the virus can enter the workplace or venue.  Anyone with suspicious symptoms or positive viral detection testing is isolated and we case manage these individuals, until the are fit to return.

We have had excellent feedback on our clinical testing team services, and would be happy to discuss this with you.
