I may be over reacting but my GP says I need a fit test as my iron levels are very low, he had prescribed tablets, The problem is the surgery doesn't have any kits, it's been a week now and when I rang this morning they said to ring again next friday.
Do I wait or do I get a test via the internet, if I do how do I choose a reputable company.
Any help would be appreciated., thank you

There is a helpline on this leaflet even if they can’t help you they may be able to give you some advice on what type of kit and where to purchase it !
Our own helpline staff might have more info on 0808 808 0000.
I am not sure what age you are or if your quality to be part of the screening program but even if you don’t you can ask more specifics about the type of screen !
I know where I live there are some private companies that assist too!
Hope it turns out well for you !
