- This service is NOT suitable for anyone with symptoms of COVID-19, or anyone who thinks they may have COVID-19. Please don’t book an appointment or come into store if you, anyone in your household or support bubble have symptoms of COVID-19 or you have been told to isolate after contact with a person that has tested positive for COVID-19. Instead stay at home and follow the latest government guidance.
- A home visit service is also available with a home visit fee of £80 for your address (subject to availability). This is useful for Sunday and bank holidays when the pharmacy is closed. Results will be sent out on the next day, all days including weekends, e.g. if a test is done on Sunday, via home visit, the result will be sent out on Monday.
- Due to the sensitivity of these tests, there is a very small chance the test result could be returned as inconclusive/failed. If a test result is inconclusive/failed it is not possible to say if the person being tested had the virus when the test was done and a retest must be carried out. In this rare occasion, we will cover the cost of the retest.
- Please make sure you do not eat, drink, chew gum, smoke or brush your teeth at least 30 minutes before you take the mouth swab. Doing this can contaminate your sample which may result in it needing a retest and therefore, delay your result.
