Hi, I have RA & had a ritixumab infusion yesterday, with another booked for 2weeks, obviously I need to have a covid test before I have the 2nd, I did try the online nhs site but it just kept returning to the first page, or assumed I was an nhs worker! Anyone help?

I have Rituximab on Tuesday and was told to do a LFT on the morning and take a picture of it

For us on biological and such treatments we are entitled to free NHS LFT which can be ordered on line just make sure you tick the appropriate boxes. If it says no start again this time making sure you tick entitled for these.
