How Useful and Affective are Home Testing Kits for Certain Diseases?

With recent news about issues regarding home testing kits for certain diseases, for this week’s check in with Glasgow based Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick it is all about the effectiveness and usefulness of home testing kits for certain diseases.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey began by asking Elizabeth what she felt about home testing kits for diseases like diabetes, bowel cancer, coeliac disease and vitamin D tests about whether they work and how reliable are they. 

For many blind and partially sighted people to be able to use the tests and read the results like with doing the Covid test there would be the need more than likely of some sighted assistance.
