A GOVERNMENT Minister has paid a virtual visit to one of Trowbridge’s leading employers to see for herself how it is testing employees to help keep them safe during the Covid-19 pandemic. Victoria Prentis, the North Oxfordshire MP and a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Farming, Fisheries and Food, joined leading meals provider, apetito, for a virtual visit at its Trowbridge site to see the company’s lateral flow testing, first-hand and discuss the benefits that mass Covid testing brings both to the individual, and the business. apetito was one of the first businesses in the UK to work with Defra and the Department of Health & Social Care in 2020 to roll out asymptomatic testing for people unable to work from home – initially as a pilot scheme.

TROWBRIDGE Primary Care Network has given first dose Covid vaccinations to nearly 4,000 local people in the last three weeks. The network says it is well ahead of the ambitious government targets to vaccinate the most vulnerable groups by mid-February. Suzanne Petty, administrative practice manager at the Lovemead Group Practice, said: “Trowbridge PCN has had a busy and successful start to offering a COVID vaccination service to the local population since first receiving vaccine at the beginning of the month. “The PCN, which comprises both Trowbridge Health Centre and Lovemead Group Practice (Roundstone Surgery), working collaboratively managed to secure an extra batch of vaccine last week which means they have been able to run clinics at the Wingfield Road surgery site each week. As a result vaccination has been offered to almost all people aged over 80 most of whom have taken up the offer.”
