Fleet Street Clinic Laboratoryin Central London

We have been providing “Point-of-Care” Testing (POCT) for our patients since 2016. Since then, instead of having to wait days for culture results, our patients have been able to receive results for many of the tests we offer – and treatment – in about an hour, or at the same appointment.

We expanded our resources dramatically during the Covid pandemic, culminating in achieving ISO 15189:2012 UKAS Accreditation for SARS-CoV-2 testing and sampling. During the pandemic, we supported numerous complex projects in the UK and internationally, including film production and VIP groups. We are delighted to have a production credit on the most recent Mission Impossible movie! We now have multiple testing platforms and are expanding our range.

Our patients can benefit from over 60 different tests that can be performed at a single visit.

Our laboratory is staffed by Biomedical Scientists and Medical Laboratory Assistants, with oversight from independent consultants, and upholds high standards of quality.

Our Tests

Our in-house test portfolio covers a range of infections and conditions where early or rapid diagnosis makes an important difference to treatment. Here are some examples:

Results are released within 2-5 hours of sample submission.

The stitches were removed very quickly and professionally. The nurse was very calm and approachable and made the whole experience really pleasant. It was also my first time having this type of procedure in the UK, so I was a little apprehensive, but there was no need to be!

Had a great experience at Fleet Street Clinic. I went in for my occupational health clearance and everything was smooth from start to finish. The staff were friendly and professional and the whole process was really straightforward. A special thank you to Chiara from the nursing team who handled my tests. She was not only kind and reassuring but also incredibly professional and easy to talk to. She made what could have been a stressful visit feel completely relaxed.
