Lateral flow tests
A service to find a pharmacy that offers free COVID-19 rapid lateral flow tests via NHS.uk has been launched to enable patients to quickly and easily locate a pharmacy participating in the advanced service to provide free Covid-19 lateral flow device (LFD) tests to eligible patients. The LFD tests service specification has been updated to make the eligibility clearer as set out in NICE guidance and to emphasise that eligible patients do not need to be symptomatic of Covid-19 to obtain a free box of tests.
