NHS Registration

Dear Student,

Important notice –

If you have taken your test today (Friday 5 March) and been unfortunate enough to be in after the NHS website crashed, please can you keep trying to register your test at home? This will allow you access to your results.

The test site ID is BIVH.

Below are the frequently asked questions to help you complete the registration.

You need to register within 24 hours of taking the test, so keep trying and I am sure the website will come back online this evening,

Don’t worry about the result, if it was positive we would contact you.
