Getting COVID test records

Has anyone had any luck getting their COVID test records?

During the pandemic I submitted dozens of tests, as I was testing weekly for most of it. A few were logged by my employer who has provided them, and I have email receipts for some.

Test & Trace seems to have disappeared though. Anyone know how to contact them to get the test results I submitted via the website?

They aren't on my NHS record as far as I can see.

    Presumably these are the latflow tests where you declare yourself if you passed or failed with no secondary checks to confirm you answered honestly?

  • i *think* you can still access tests carried out at a GP surgery which will be on your records. I doubt you will be able to get the latflow ones. 


  • Did you get text message confirmation for the tests you submitted?  Might be a bit of a nightmare if you need to print them out but there might be ways of doing it or apps that can help.

    The only other records I have are for recent tests, that are on my record on SystmOnline - but I don't know if that's because I submitted them through the Zoe app or not (as well as using the QR codes to submit to the NHS, which is why I don't know which method put it on my record).  And earlier ones submitted by both methods aren't on there, the GP surgery evidently hadn't enabled that particular function yet.

    Thanks, yes, self administered lateral flow tests, except for a couple which were PCR tests with a sample sent off.

    The Vaccine Damage Scheme has accepted that I was injured, but said it was probably because I got COVID. So I need to show that I was regularly testing and didn't have COVID when it kicked off. I think it's balance of probabilities, so even a lateral flow test should tip the scales far enough.
