Covid-19 Testing
Covid-19 is still around, and Fleet Street Clinic continues to offer the full range of Covid testing including rt-PCR, lateral flow and antibody testing.
As one of the only medical practices with our own laboratory on site, we specialise in delivering the fastest possible results, with highly accurate rt-PCR results available in around an hour from receipt of sample.
Knowing results quickly can help control the spread of Covid-19, speed up care, protect your loved ones and your workplace, and can facilitate international travel to the small number of countries that still require testing.
Our service is scalable and can process large numbers of samples at the same time if needed.

rt-PCR Testing
Put your mind at ease with a Covid-19 rt-PCR test.
It can tell you whether you currently have the Covid-19 virus or are negative.
Whether you need a Covid-19 rt-PCR test for personal reasons, work or travel, we offer various turnaround time options to best suit you and your needs.
For peace of mind, ultra rapid results are available.
Antibody Testing
Covid-19 antibody tests can detect whether you have Covid-19 antibodies in your blood.
Antibodies are produced when you are exposed to the virus. Knowing whether you have previously been exposed to the virus can offer some peace of mind.
Corporate Covid-19 Testing
Workplace Covid-19 can support a successful return to work strategy.
There are numerous ways we can support, from testing to get back to the workplace, to regular testing to ensure a safe working environment and also testing to diagnose employee symptoms.

You don't have to come to our clinic to be tested.
Why not try our "wait-and-return" courier service?
If you don't feel well enough to come to the Clinic for testing, we can send you a swab with a courier, who will bring it back to our laboratory for immediate testing.
We can also test your sample for a full "panel" of 23 different causes of respiratory symptoms, including flu, cold viruses and RSV, to help establish the cause of your symptoms and get you onto the right treatment path.

Ella Nicholls
Recently had some travel vaccines done at Fleet Street Clinic, a very positive experience all round ! Reception team were very polite and helpful as were the nurses who made me feel at ease and offered some very valuable information! Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to get travel vaccines :)
Blake
Had to get a whooping cough vaccine to visit my new nephew in Australia…couldn’t have asked for a better service. Phoned on during the week, booked in for 9am, I arrived a few minutes early and was walking out the door vaccinated and back to work in less than 10 minutes after a refreshing chat with the lovely staff. What more can you ask for???

I went to Fleet Street Clinic to get the rabies vaccine and it was a great service! The jabs were the cheapest I could find around London but the clinic was really clean and professional. Would recommend to come here for travel vaccines!
Vlad Cochintoiu
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.

Wiktoria Wiatrowska
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!

FAQs
Covid-19 has not gone away, and the strains that are currently circulating are not covered by the original vaccines. Many people are susceptible. Testing can still play an important part in protecting those around you.
Covid-19 is treatable with anti-viral medication, so if you belong to a vulnerable group and are at risk of severe disease, an early diagnosis can help you obtain rapid treatment.
A positive lateral flow test can be helpful for confirming the cause of symptoms. However, it is much less sensitive than PCR, so a negative test may give a false sense of security that all is well, which may put others at risk if you are in the early stages of infection.
For people with symptoms, we recommend doing a full respiratory PCR panel, which can test for the full range of respiratory pathogens.
Antibody testing is still available, but seldom requested at the moment, and currently of limited value.
There are many things you can do to stop the spread of coronavirus:
* Wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
* Use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
* Wash your hands as soon as you get back home
* Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
* Put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards
* Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean
Yes, our nurses are very experienced in treating children of all ages. It may not be advisable to test young infants but sometimes this is an International travel requirement. You can contact us to confirm prior to booking.
