NHS Lateral Flow Device Tests Supply Service extension

Posted on:

NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care have confirmed that the community pharmacy NHS Lateral Flow Device (LFD) Tests Supply Service has been extended for another year, starting 1 April 2025. The item of service (IoS) fee for the service has increased from £4.00 to £4.10.

This walk-in service provides at-risk patients eligible for COVID-19 treatments access to LFD tests for home use if they develop symptoms. A positive result helps inform clinical assessments to determine suitability for NICE-recommended treatments. Patient representatives can collect one box of 5 tests from participating pharmacies upon confirmation that the patient is part of the eligible cohort. The full list of eligible patients is available in NICE guidelines, with more information available in the service specification.
