The minimum mandatory day 2 antigen test required for returnees to UK is available on many sites but the best (lowest) value deal we found is on expert-medical.co.uk at £28 pp.

You are immediately emailed the code required for your Passenger Locator Form and the test pack is waiting for you on return.

Interestingly the antigen test is recommended if you’ve had COVID as the full pcr test can show positives for up to 90 days

I believe the day 2 test must be a PCR test (I've just checked) so an antigen test would not suffice. A pity. The price is good.

It is a PCR test - see the website, I used it successfully yesterday returning from Mallorca

Indeed yep. Brilliant price and they do the return postage for the tests as well.  I'll be glad when we can stop and just do a cheap lateral flow type test (end of Oct sometime).

Just to note a slight typo in the web address, it should be https://www.expert-medicals.co.uk/

Definitely a good price though.  Good tip.

Hi Gill,

What was the return process for your completed test and how long did the result take ? I can’t find a step guide on their website. Thanks for any help.

Sorry to be a party pooper, as this company does appear to be offering very cheap PCR tests at £28, but with reviews of 1.5/5 I don't think I would have confidence in them.
