You might find it a little unusual, but we'd rather you didn't buy a self-testing kit.

As a company involved in the research and development of new medical tests for use in hospital labs, and by doctors on hospital wards and in A&E, we firmly believe your GP is the best source of health advice and medical tests. We strongly encourage you to speak with your GP if you have any health concerns.

However, we know there are many reasons why you might want to self-test. If you do decide to buy a self-testing kit, we believe you should have access to quality-assured products specifically certified for self-test use, with instructions written in simple, clear English by professionals.

Our SELFCHECK® tests are assembled right here in the UK at our own certified medical device manufacturing facility, and we only use key medical components sourced from UK and EU manufacturers.

Plus, if you need any help using your test or understanding your results, our experts are available to assist you.
