Lateral Flow Test

[emmie]

is it easy to do, what is involved as someone wants me and others to take one before
going to their place at the weekend. Do i get one from the chemist?

[douglas9401]

Plenty of ideas from experts coming up on news sites Emmie, quite illuminating although I appreciate one not wanting to be tainted by any association whatsoever.

Ijust got them from boots no code etc. But then they know me. Free

[barry1010]

It's different in Northern Ireland, JJ - no codes for you. You can also order them online for free delivery

[jennyjoan]

was on the Ipad when I answered last. emmie - I done one on Friday but do think I was OTT as in sticking too far down the throat and up the nose. I was gagging and water was pouring from my eye. I went a bridge too far LOL. I received 7 in a box - they offered me 14 but I only took the 7.

JJ Boots didn't have any, code or no code.

easy peasy

I got some free from Boots this morning, no need to pre-order

We got some from the pharmacy last week without a code. They know us. I need to visit a care home soon. So if I do one at home it saves me having to sit in their waiting room.

I have just ordered lft tests on nhs website. Easy, they give you a code Emmie. Should delivered in about 2 days.

[gingejbee]

These kits have been available "free" for several months...I can't understand why you'd leave getting some until just before you REALLY need them.

For over a year, ginge. Schools, colleges, pharmacies, hospitals, doctors, all giving them out.

Does anyone have a link for the actual easy instructions? Loads of info on internet when I Google, but no instructions that l can see.

[bednobs]

To finish off with when you get sorted log on here

they are due to come in the post today, i haven't needed them till now, its only the hostess at the party wondering whether to cancel the party or ask her guests to take a LFT at the last minute that they are needed. I had only been invited a week or so ago and no one was told until sunday last that they might need a LFT.

[Toorak]

If you knew on Sunday why wait until yesterday to do anything about it?

[emmie]

i didn't, the hostess only said on sunday that she MIGHT ask her guests to do it, she still hasn't confirmed that the party is even going ahead. I will have to do the test and see, it should be negative, going on the three jabs i have had, if its positive then i won't be going. I will tx her later to see if the party is still going ahead on sunday afternoon.
if not then i have done this for nothing.

[emmie]

i will do the test and report it to the NHS website.

Did they arrive Emmie? Only you can usually collect a box, free of charge, no code needed, from the local library too. It might be open Saturday morning.
