Medicspot or Qured for return to UK?

Diddidi

Hi everyone, not sure if this has been covered elsewhere, but my search didn't turn up anything. Does anyone have experience of whether Medicspot or Qured are best for the return to UK antigen test? Am looking for a solution that you can take with you and these seem to be the only two companies offering this service. Trustpilot and other sources appear to be awash with mixed reviews for both. I need to take a test with me as getting a test with a certificate in English locally seems to be impossible.  Many thanks!

I have used Medicspot for pcr (twice) and antigen (once) as it was recommended by British Airways. 

I had no complaints, the swabs were easy to use and register and I received my results quickly. I had to get in touch with them to change my passport number but finding a phone number for them was difficult. They only have an online chat but I guess it’s better than waiting in a queue for 30mins as is the case with most things now!

My wife and I used Qured only last week in Portugal. Antigen test is £30 with discount code BATRAVEL15.
You take the test with you. You will receive an email with instructions on how to arrange to do the test while abroad. 

It's a video call, you arrange a time you want to do it and at that time you click on a link that takes you to a virtual waiting room. You will then be video called by an adviser that will describe in detail what you should do.
He/she will watch every stage to make sure you do the test correctly.
 
Call takes about 10 minutes, by this time you will have put your sample in the test reader. After 15 minutes you take a photo of the reader along with your ID and email it to them at results@qured.com

You will receive your result and certificate within the hour.
