Health and safety procedures at AWR Europe

The Royal College of Physicians, the home of the AWR Europe conference, has been awarded a 'We're Good to Go' certification which means that it has been recognised by the UK Government as a venue that can open safely.

Pre-book your Covid test
According to current UK Government guidance, those travelling to the UK from overseas will need to pre-book a lateral flow or PCR test, to take in the UK within 48 hours of arriving. You will not need to self-isolate whilst waiting for the results. For ease, we recommend that you take your 48 hour test in the airport just after you land.

Please pre-book your test using this link, and book it at the appropriate airport and terminal that you are landing at.

This link gives you access to a UK Government approved testing centre within the arrivals section of your airport terminal.

Once you have pre-booked your test, they will send you a confirmation number which you should use on your passenger locator form which you will need to complete upon arrival into the UK.
