Test Assurance Group have developed a system and the software to support your commitment as a business leader or organisation to take all reasonable steps to help protect your employees, students or residents. Working together, we can ensure a smooth mass-testing rollout at your own site, keeping individuals safe and your organisation moving.
How It Works
Whatever your business or organisation, keeping your people safe and your establishment operational is a priority.
Our Test Assurance Group teams around the UK are experts in mass community testing solutions. From initial conversation through to on site testing with clinicians, we work with you to set up, organise and manage your mass testing programme.
Our unique TAG App is customisable and designed for you to be able to set up multiple test sites, on different days with different individuals. Our simple solution allows you to bulk upload your data via a CSV and set up different events within minutes.
Only you see the data and only you manage the results. Unique QR codes are created for each individual to ensure the security of the data and the integrity of the test system is maintained throughout the test process.
Testing can either be carried out on site by yourselves or we can arrange for our medically insured clinicians can do this for you, which is generally preferred by customers.
We work with a number of trusted partners all over the UK and can provide clinicians with the desired set-up and process instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy testing system for your organisation, wherever you are based.
All members of your organisation will also have the assurance of 24-hour access to medical advice post-testing should they need it.
