The growing availability of direct-to-consumer testing raises important questions about test quality, interpretation and the potential for harm when testing takes place outside traditional healthcare settings. This presentation will consider the regulatory challenges posed by direct-to-consumer tests and how changes to the regulatory framework in Great Britain seek to address them. It will also consider the role of regulation alongside wider approaches to support the quality and appropriate use of direct-to-consumer tests.
