The new BSPS Lighthouse Laboratory is being established to test COVID-19 swabs as part of the national testing effort to help tackle the coronavirus.

We are preparing a brand new NHS laboratory in Bracknell which will use state-of-the-art equipment to provide accurate testing at scale. 400 scientists and support staff are being recruited to provide a 24/7 testing service at our new laboratory, enabling us to process tens of thousands of tests a day. Find out how to join the team here.

NHS Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services (BSPS) is one of the largest NHS pathology networks in the country. The BSPS Lighthouse Laboratory will test swabs from the general public. At BSPS we have significant expertise in diagnostic testing and have been testing swabs from NHS staff and patients since Spring 2020.
