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.

Gastrointestinal Infections

Travellers’ Diarrhoea? Gastroenteritis?

Our stool PCR panel test helps detect and differentiate 24 possible bacterial, parasitic and/ or viral target pathogens that commonly cause gut infection and diarrhoea, all from a tiny stool swab sample.

Results are available within an hour, enabling rapid and targeted treatment.

We also offer a number of other rapid tests suitable for returned travellers, including malaria and dengue antigen detection.

Respiratory Infections

Our respiratory PCR panel test helps pinpoint the cause of respiratory infection, from a “panel” of 23 viral and bacterial causes, including colds, flu, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, and other treatable respiratory infections, all from a nose or throat swab sample.

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

A separate “Strep A” PCR molecular test is also available for Strep throat infection.

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.

The staff were incredibly helpful and polite. We received our travel jabs from them, and not only were the prices better than in Boots, but they also didn’t try to upsell us anything just for the sake of it. Instead, they gave us their honest opinion on what we should and shouldn’t get the jabs for. It was a small act of kindness, but it made the whole experience amazing.

I love this place; it's my go-to for vaccinations. Now they offer private COVID boosters even better—also much better availability than the high street chemist named after footwear. Everyone is so friendly and professional.
