Covid Lateral Flow Device (LFD) Service

Covid Lateral Flow Device Service

What Is the Service?

Our Covid Lateral Flow Device (LFD) Service provides NHS-funded rapid Covid-19 testing for eligible patients and care settings. Lateral flow tests give a quick result and help eligible patients access Covid-19 treatments promptly, and help care settings identify and manage outbreaks.

Who Is This Service For?

This NHS-funded service is available to specific eligible groups, including:

  • Patients who are eligible for Covid-19 treatments and need to confirm a positive result
  • People with a health condition that makes them more vulnerable to serious illness from Covid-19
  • Staff and residents of care homes and other health and social care settings, in line with current NHS guidance

Eligibility criteria are set by the NHS and can change — our pharmacy team can confirm whether you or your setting currently qualifies.
