Current turn around time for NHS PCR?

[isitjustlockdown]

My DD (18 + double vaccinated)) and I are due to go away for a UK weekend break this weekend, leaving Friday lunchtime.

DD started feeling unwell during this morning and we took her down for a PCR test at a drive in centre this afternoon.

Does anyone have experience of the current turn around times for results?

Her school has a bout of colds at the moment, so fingers crossed it's just that, but obviously we need a definite answer before we can go away.

I've had 3 which have been negative and results sent within 24 hours.

I had one on Wednesday at 12:30 and still waiting for a result. South east here.

@erin48 Have you had your results yet? I had mine the same day and still waiting

Nothing yet @ChillingReign ☹️ losing money as I was sent home from work with a temperature and sore throat which has now gone but they won't have me back until I'm negative and can prove it.

I’ve just been for one half an hour ago (west mids) and they said it’s taking 2-3 days at the moment!

DH had one at 8am on Wednesday morning and the results came back at 3pm the same day.

Ds had one at 5.30pm yesterday and we got the result at 10.15am today.
That was at a walk through centre in South Wales. No appointment, we just had to register the test ourselves once we got home.

@erin48 I think the tests on Weds seem to be taking longe a friend had one on Wed and just got the results through so hopefully we don't have to wait too much longer

Fingers crossed @ChillingReign

Didn’t the test centre give you an estimate, they usually do?

Sad to say, when I went for a test this morning, admittedly in an area with very high case rates currently, I was told “up to five days”!!

@erin48 just got mine back so hopefully you won't be long now

@ChillingReign hope yours were negative! I'm hoping mine comes soon it's stressing me out 😂

@JanglyBeads they said within 48 hours

Mine was positive unfortunately. I hope you have a better result than me!

Oh no @ChillingReign I hope you get better very soon x

My 4 year old had a test 9am Wednesday and we are still waiting.. was told 24-48hrs but we’re way past that now. So frustrating.

Wednesday test results for us have now been received!

6.30 pm test yesterday. Result 2pm today. SW.

Still nothing for me from Wednesday lunchtime 😩

Test at 9.30am on Wednesday, South West drive through, postive result 2am (under 17 hours)

South West testing centre. We tested Tuesday morning and still waiting. It’s been escalated now but 119 wouldn’t do that before 72 hours.

17 hours on Wednesday.

1.30pm Wednesday. Result back 5.20am Thursday.

Finally can through at 12pm today, just in time for us to go (was negative thankfully).

45.5 hours in total from Wednesday afternoon, west London.

Both DC (one positive and one negative) back within 22hours...

4 tested Tuesday morning, south east. 2 kids came back negative at 3am yesterday. Still waiting on the other 2.

We're in Wales, my DD had a PCR at 10.30 Saturday morning results came back early hours of Monday morning (12.10 am). Negative thankfully.
