Lateral flow tests now require QR code.

I seem to have acquired quite a stash of the tests as every time I went to the library to collect a set of books for my book group, they insisted on giving me some boxes of tests as well. I think they were getting rid of them as the library are no longer supplying them.

I was aware that the system to get nes tests was changing though and do have the leaflet with the code on for when I need some more. I take two each week when I visit mum in a care home and also before WI meetings.

My granddaughter picks them up from school, there seems no limit to the amount they can take.

Thanks JaneJudge and Atqui oh dear I do feel silly, now I've read your explanation, I know what they are Atqui.

Smileless A QR code is one of those black and white squares. The person serving me in Boots gave me a leaflet which had another QR code to get me to the place online. I’ve just done as Jane suggested and ordered them online .I had to supply the same information I did for the code for collecting at the pharmacy.

Granmarie have you got some since Monday? Apparently the rules have changed.

I get them from my local pharmacy, on request.

I am useless at technology too Smileless they didn't ask for anything online though they most probably scan them before they send them

I order through this link

I ordered some online Tuesday via the NHS and they came yesterday

Thanks growstuff I'll look at the link. I don't have a smart 'phone and wouldn't know how to use one so rely on Mr. S..

I don't know if this is helpful:

PS. What about the people who don't have smart phones or don't know how to use them?

What is a QR code and how and where do you get one?
