I wonder if you could get an approved test elsewhere (if there is any), that the hospital would accept? Best of luck!

Will the hospital that you are due for surgery at be able to access the result?

I am due for surgery on the 23 October and have to take a test on the 20th and then isolate until surgery, my letter states that if I do not have the test or it proves positive then my surgery will be cancelled. I am sure all hospitals are different but I was early for my test yesterday (for something else) and they were happy to oblige, even though you were late would they not do it?
