Test To Release

When arriving in the UK, you can now take advantage of the COVID test to release scheme by booking a private PCR test after day 5 of arrival.

The terms of this scheme are simple – you can leave quarantine to have a COVID-19 PCR test after day 5 of arrival and can end quarantine once you have a negative test.

We have two options:

• Same-day by 10 pm – £139 – testing by 10 am mandatory
• Next day by 8 pm – £99 – test any time the previous day

However, please note the following important information:

• we only conduct day 5 early release testing
• you must still book and order the government’s travel test package for tests on day 2 and day 8 or use another private provider.
• You must have these tests, regardless of whether or not you have the day 5 test privately.
• We do not conduct day 2 and day 8 tests that require sequencing. These are designed to track new variants entering the country.
• To leave quarantine early, you must still have the day 8 test, even if you have had the optional day 5 private test.
• You cannot leave quarantine early if you have arrived from a red-list country.

Our clinic has completed all relevant applications and declarations to provide sample-taking for this scheme. Our clinic is also registered with the Care Quality Commission, ensuring exceptional standards.

When testing for the test-to-release scheme, you must provide the clinic with the following information requested by the UK government, which will be kept on file:

•  date of arrival in the United Kingdom
• coach number, flight number or vessel name (as appropriate)
• the date on which last departed from or transited through a non-exempt country or territory, or a non-exempt region of a country or territory, i.e. a destination not on the travel corridors list
• the country or territory travelling from when arrived in the United Kingdom, and any country or territory transited through as part of that journey
