Covid-19 Antigen Test (Wholesale)

Our antigen test kits are accepted by many popular destinations in place of a PCR test, including the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Greece and Portugal. As antigen kits are cheaper and offer faster results, they are the preferred choice for most travellers.

This test is not suitable for the Test to Release programme because of the strict rules surrounding when tests can be sold to customers.

Covid-19 is a communicable (infectious) disease and can be passed onto other people even more easily when in confined spaces (such as planes). It is imperative that you follow medical guidance to ensure that you don't pass the virus onto others when travelling or returning back. This is still the case if you have been vaccinated - especially due to the emergence of new variants

Air travel, in particular, can be dangerous when suffering from a respiratory illness such as Covid-19 because of the drop in oxygen that occurs at altitude. It is imperative that you don't have any symptoms of a respiratory infection before you fly. You will be asked a series of questions upon registering your kit to ensure you are not suffering from any of these type of symptoms.

This test is not suitable for day 2 and 8 testing because of the strict rules surrounding when tests can be sold to customers.

Tens of thousands of customers have travelled with a Medicspot Covid test. Our antigen test kits are accepted by many popular destinations in place of a PCR test, including the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Greece and Portugal. As antigen kits are cheaper and offer faster results, they are the preferred choice for most customers. We email the customer a doctor-signed fit to fly certificate free of charge if they test negative for coronavirus.

We recommend customers purchase their test as soon as possible to guarantee they have their test in advance. After ordering, our test kits can be used within 90 days.

No, your pharmacy does not need to be CQC accredited to sell Covid-19 test kits. Medicspot is accredited by the CQC and uses UKAS accredited labs. Medicspot is also Government approved and on the Department of Health and Social Care and UKAS framework.

As Covid vaccines do not fully prevent people from catching and spreading the virus, many countries still require people who have been double-jabbed to take a Covid test.

Customers must register their kit before returning it to the lab. If they need further assistance, they can chat with our customer service team by visiting medicspot.co.uk/contact.

Negative – The customer does not have any evidence of an active infection.

Positive – The Covid-19 virus has been detected. The customer will not be able to travel and we will inform NHS Public Health about their positive result.

Inconclusive/Needs Repeated – Very infrequently, the customer’s swab result will need to be repeated. This is often due to poor sample taking technique. They will need to purchase another swab kit.

Our antigen test kits provide results in just 20 minutes. Your customers can get their certificate the same day when they send a photo of their result and ID by 4pm. This allows your customers to meet strict time window requirements for travel.

Yes, there is no age limit on tests. However, performing a swab on a young child may be challenging. Parents should only perform a swab on a young child if they feel comfortable doing so.

Yes, the pharmacy can allow usage of the consulting room/bathroom for patients to take their own swabs. However, it has to be self-swab rather than pharmacies administering swabs as this is not a private service offering.

It is important that you check with your insurer if you are covered for this service. If you have indemnity insurance with NPA Insurance and you are in England, Scotland and Wales, see their latest update.

Where an individual purchases our Covid Swab Test, this provides them with the test kit; analysis of the sample by a UKAS regulated (accredited/applicant) laboratory; and a review of the test results by a qualified GP. The above represents a provision of healthcare to an individual, which we believe is exempt from VAT. In light of this, we do not charge VAT to an individual who purchases a test directly from us and we do not charge VAT where we sell the Covid Swab Test to a pharmacy/retailer for onward sale.

Where one of our Covid Swab Test is sold by a pharmacy/retailer to an individual, as the individual is receiving exactly the same service as they would receive had they purchased the test directly from us, we consider that your sale to an individual will similarly be exempt from VAT in light with our own practice. However, you (the pharmacy/retailer) are fully responsible for ensuring that you apply VAT correctly to these goods and services.
