[In August 2020, Public Health England and Oxford University were commissioned to design and deliver a rapid evaluation programme of antigen Lateral Flow Devices. Over 2.5 billion self-test kits were deployed by the UK government following purchasing decisions informed by this work. We offer a potential blueprint for future evaluation programmes that might be required to assess LFDs to detect cases of a pandemic novel pathogen.]
