Changes to ordering Lateral Flow Device tests for patients

November 6, 2023

From 6 November 2023, LFD tests will no longer be available via GOV.UK or via 119.

Instead, patients/patients’ representatives can collect one box of five LFD tests from a participating community pharmacy, on confirmation that the patient is part of the cohort which is potentially eligible for COVID-19 treatments.

The test kits will currently continue to be supplied free of charge to these patients.
