The Pharmacy Collect and lateral flow device (LFD) test kit scheme is closing – what you need to know:

Since the start of the Pharmacy Collect programme Alliance Healthcare has partnered the UKHSA to deliver over 320 million lateral flow device (LFD) test kits to community pharmacy across the UK.

In line with the Government’s Living with Covid Plan and testing for most citizens ceasing at the end of March, we are working with UKHSA to ensure that LFD test kits continue to be evenly distributed in the remaining two weeks and, just as importantly, that the amount of remaining stock after the service closes is minimised.

UKHSAs’ last delivery to Alliance Healthcare UK is Friday 18th March. Alliance Healthcare will continue to deliver LFDs whilst stocks last and up until Friday 25th March.

You will not be able to place a Return for LFD test kits from 18th March, unless it is faulty or damaged. Visit www.alliance-healthcare.co.uk for further details.
