COVID-19 Update

As you will be aware the current pandemic has had a dramatic effect across all our activities, changing the way we work, preventing some activities and encouraging new approaches to what we do.   The infrastructure and environment of the NICRF will be different. Please be assured that your safety and comfort is our main priority. We are happy to answer any queries you have regarding your research visit and assure you we are following all Government advice and guidelines.  

If you think you have COVID-19 follow PHA Advice as below:

If you have:

• a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature); OR
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual); OR
• a loss of or change in sense of smell or taste.

Further information and guidance can be found on the PHA website.

Research teams will be in touch with you prior to your study/appointment to check that you do not have symptoms – this is important to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone in our NICRF.
