About: North Devon District Hospital / Covid swabbing unit

(as a service user),

I was tested prior to having  minor  day surgery on my face therefore unable to wear a mask during the process.

The test was quick and I received the negative  results the next day whilst maintaining isolation before attending my hospital appointment. 

In all instances the staff were good humoured and caring and although I had to isolate it posed no problems.
