Are you in England, Scotland, Wales, NI or somewhere else?

Lemonmelonsun · 13/07/2021 12:19

England
We did have a pcr testing site pop near us once and they were also giving out free lat flow to parents of school children. But it's gone now.

Just need to put your postcode in.

Pharmacies here have them (Lloyds) or any if the PCR testing places. I imagine it's easy to find on Google. I think there might be a link on the government site. Or you can have them sent to you.

You can order them through this .gov link

Also you might be able to get some from a pharmacy. I was in the queue at mine and someone in front asked for some.

Also some libraries give them out.

Lemonmelonsun · 13/07/2021 12:23

Thanks for the link I did look on give website but everything seemed to be a maze of stuff around lat flow not how to order some.

Lemonmelonsun · 13/07/2021 12:30

I'm not sure you have to actually order them. Last time I was at the pharmacist, I had to wait ages because they were pushing them onto everyone in there.

And they didn't like it if you refused. No excuses were accepted, we get them from work, we have a load from school, this is the only time I've left the house in the last month. It was like they'd had training in pushing things people don't want from Mrs Doyle from Father Ted.

We ordered ours at 6pm yesterday evening on line and they have just arrived , brilliant service.

All the pharmacies where I live have them too, you just need to ask for them.

Library has them here. If the shelf is empty I just ask as they have loads under the counter.

JustMeAndWheatley · 13/07/2021 13:48

Pharmacies and libraries here.

ceeveebee · 13/07/2021 13:50

Yep all the pharmacies have them round here

Flaxmeadow · 13/07/2021 13:51

Just ask at the counter in any pharmacy

PickAChew · 13/07/2021 13:53

I picked up our last lot from the local pharmacy.

Ds picked a load up from college (to send to his sister). Local pharmacies also have them.
