Covid-19 PCR Test

If you are symptomatic or it is less than 2 weeks since you had symptoms the PCR test is suitable.  The PCR test can show if you are currently infected with SARS-CoV-2.  The other reasons for having the test include screening before return to work, Covid-19 testing for students or Covid-19 fit to fly test.  If you have symptoms, it is generally advised to book a test with the NHS.

The Covid-19 PCR test is performed using a nose and throat swab.  The Public Health England video demonstrates the technique used for self sampling of the swabs.  Once the swabs are taken they are sent in the prepaid packaging direct to the laboratory.

To undergo the Covid-19 PCR test please complete the enquiry form on this page.  We will then contact you to send you some documentation to complete prior to sending you the test. The sample is taken by yourself and then sent to the UK accredited laboratory for analysis.  The team will then contact you once the results are available.  Results may take about 2-3 days from being received by the laboratory.   If you are using the test for travel, you may be required to have an in-clinic test as home collection samples may not be accepted by some countries. We are not providing in-clinic sample collection.

The Coronavirus PCR test is £125 for a home collection kit to be sent to you.  To order the home collection test please visit our online store.
