Hi, The list of day 2 (after return to the UK) lateral flow test providers is extremely long.  Does anyone have any advice on how to choose please?  How are the results sent?  Thanks.

Hi, I have always used Randox in the past, you order the tests which are posted to you, when you return home you do them yourself then drop them off at a drop box to be collected and sent to the lab. normally results are back within 24 hours. Check on the website that they have a local drop off near to you. Keep the order reference number as you will need this for your locator form when you fly home.

I used Covid Smart. www.covidsmart.co.uk for my day 2 test.  Ordered online, the email with the code needed for your UK locator form was sent immediately to me.  The test itself was very straight forward and instructions were provided in the box.  Once you´ve done the test you take a photo of the result and upload this to their web site.  Verification comes back after a few hours that you´ve sent it to them.

I used VIVOCLINIC. They arrived before I did last Friday, cost £14.90.

Did the test as described in the leaflet with the package and had the result after 15 minutes. 

Follow the instructions in the letter that come with it and send the test back to them. You'll then get an email back from them. 

Good luck with whoever you decide to choose.
