Hospital offers new patients rapid antigen tests

Brisbane Waters Private Hospital is offering rapid antigen tests for patients due to attend the hospital who cannot get a PCR test.

"Under the guidance of NSW Health, we will need you to provide a negative PCR test from the 24 hours prior to your appointment," said chief executive Ms Debbra Ritter.

"We acknowledge that at this time there are some significant challenges and delays associated with PCR tests and result turnaround time.

"For this reason, if you are due to attend our hospital and can't get a PCR test, we will conduct a Rapid Antigen Test upon your arrival.

"This requirement extends to all who are attending our hospital, including day patients, and visitors with an exemption to attend the hospital.

"Please visit our website for further information."
