RE: Day 2 lateral flow tests for international arrivals21 Oct 2021 22:20
Wow thank you for posting. Bit that struck me was
7. The test result must be verified by the provider with, as a minimum, a single photographic evidence when the provider does not witness the test service (self-administered tests taken over video call still require photographic evidence)
The provider is responsible for analysing and verifying the result and reporting it to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The test result must be verified by the provider with, as a minimum, a single photographic evidence, when the test is self-administered meeting the following criteria:
the lateral flow test device must be identifiable as the test provider’s
the photograph must also show the international arrival’s unique test booking reference
the result must be clearly visible
So I think this means you can do the test at home. What isn't clear is do you need to do it over video link and does that constitute professional use. I certainly hope so (despite HUA any day now).
Providers have to have MD or equivalent to oversee SOPs - probably in the belief that medics don't want to get struck off. Nice work if you can get it.
