The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a fact sheet with guidance on the use of self-test kits.
 
Self-test kits are available for a variety of conditions including fertility, sexually transmitted infections and cancer and can have an important role to play in healthcare. The new guidance provides advice on what to consider before using a self-test kit with a reminder to read the instructions carefully, know how the kit can be stored and know how to read the results. Consumers are also reminded that no test kit is 100% reliable and should never replace a doctor's diagnosis or a result from a national screening programme. NeLM News
