Fleet Street Clinic Laboratory in 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:

Sexual Health & STI

We offer full PCR molecular STI testing to detect common pathogens that cause sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus I and II (HSV 1 & 2), chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, chancroid, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and trichomonas, all from a simple urine sample, swab or cervical smear. Results are released within 2-5 hours of sample submission.

Whether you are concerned about possible exposure, have symptoms or just want peace of mind, we can help quickly and confidentially.

Our tests release results in about an hour, enabling confident efficient, rapid, and targeted treatment.

Had a great experience booking and getting a last minute rapid rabies jab with Fleet Street Clinic! They even booked me in out of hours for my jab because it was the only way to do it before my travels! Thank you to everyone who assisted me.

I recently sought treatment at Fleet Street Clinic for painful ears; I was quickly diagnosed by Dr Hartmann. He prescribed ear drops and arranged an appointment for me a week later with Lucy Mildren. Within a week my ears were better. Everything was very efficient and I was treated with care and skill.

The travel nurse was lovely and very efficient with giving me vaccines. She even took the time to nurse a wound I had whilst I was there. Really great care.

I was feeling ill while visiting from the States and am so glad I found this clinic. They slotted me in right away and provided everything I needed in-house without having to go to a pharmacy. I’m sure that’s not the case for all medications, but it’s great they can offer that service and that I lucked out and could get back to exploring. If you’re a fellow visitor reading this and are looking for a place to go, I would definitely recommend! Very reasonably affordable, stress-free, and friendly.

I highly recommend Fleet Street Clinic for travel vaccines. The experience was smooth and professional. Chiara was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring. She thoroughly explained each vaccine and made me feel at ease. The vaccinations were quick and relatively painless, with excellent aftercare advice. I feel well-protected for my travels thanks to Chiara and the team!
