Coronavirus PCR Swab Testing

Swab testing for COVID via PCR is the most accurate available test for an active coronavirus infection and is now a requirement for travel, with some destinations also requiring a fit to fly certificate. We can help with all of your COVID-19 testing needs and no additional fee is charged for certificates.

From 15th February 2021, government guidelines have changed regarding the test to release, quarantine and testing and what you need to do and organise before travel. Read our guide here. Full government guidance is here.

PCR swab tests for travel

PCR swab test for coronavirus is currently the required test to exclude an active infection if you plan to travel. Please check with the authorities in the country you are travelling to for more information. We can help with the test and the signing and stamping of any certification for no additional fee. Our test is UKAS-accredited and we are a preferred provider for several airlines.

A fit to fly certificate will be issued in addition to your laboratory report unless you let us know you do not want this sent to you. If you are travelling, you are wholly responsible for the timing of your test based on your destination’s requirements. The clinic takes no responsibility for the chosen timing of your test.

We have helped hundreds of people to travel since early June successfully. There are no additional fees for processing government certificates and our results come to you as an official laboratory PDF the next day before 8 pm. We also offer a premium service with results the next day before 8 am for £245.

Please note that we do not take responsibility for the timing of your test – please check with your airline or destination government website and book accordingly. We are here to conduct your test safely and issue your results on time – we cannot advise you on the regulations for your particular destination. Our nurses and healthcare assistants cannot advise you if you have incorrectly booked at the time of your test.
