COVID-19 PCR Fit to Fly Test

Our health care professionals will take a swab from inside your throat and nose. This swab is then tested for the virus itself and identifies the Viral DNA. The results are available within 48 hours.

This swab test detects active presence of the virus i.e. shows that you currently have COVID-19 or not.

Swabs are analysed in a laboratory with results back in 3 working days. 

If you require this test with a certificate for travel purposes please call the clinic for further information.
 
The cost of the consultation, PCR swab test undertaken by our health care professional , Pathology report and Fit to Fly Medical Certificate indicating that you are ‘Covid 19 Negative’  is £99.

International Travel

Major airlines are requesting a negative COVID-19 test result and certificate prior to travelling abroad. A COVID-19 test should be taken a maximum of 96 hours before departure.

Please check with your airline, which test they require (PCR test, Antibody test or both)? We recommend both tests to be undertaken to ensure that you are fully covered.

 


 

COVID-19 Antibody Test

With results in only 10 minutes, the COVID-19 antibody test is a finger prick test which identifies if the body has developed an antibody response to a COVID-19 infection. It is not a viral test to identify if you currently have COVID-19. 

The test is highly sensitive and specific detecting IgG antibodies; however, no test can be 100% accurate:

  • >99.9% sensitivity – this means that among 1,000 people who have had coronavirus, almost 100% of them will correctly test positive.
  • 98% specificity – this means that among 1,000 people who have not had coronavirus, 980 of them will correctly test negative.

Please note that until proven, the presence of COVID-19 antibodies does not mean that you have immunity against further infection of the virus.

The antibody test should only be performed 21 days after recovery from COVID-19 symptoms or 28 days after contact with someone with COVID-19 symptoms. This is to ensure that there has been enough time for detectable antibodies to have built up in the blood.

COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kit

COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kits for customers who want to check if they currently have COVID-19. This might be because they want to visit a friend or relative or go back to work but want to be sure it is safe to do so.

The test involves taking a nasal swab and results are returned within 15 minutes.

Cost of COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test = £30

Description

The Fortress Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test is a single use in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in nasopharyngeal swab specimens, directly from patients suspected for infection with SARS-CoV-2 by their healthcare provider. This test is intended to assist in the rapid diagnosis of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19). The Fortress Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.

Clinical Sensitivity, Specificity and Accuracy

The Fortress Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test has been evaluated with specimens obtained from patients. A commercialised molecular assay was used as the reference method. The results show that the Fortress Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test has a high overall relative accuracy.

  • Relative Sensitivity: 96.72%
  • Relative Specificity: 99.22%
  • Accuracy: 98.74%

Test to Release for International Travel

The Government has introduced a Test to Release programme to reduce the self-isolation period for international travellers arriving in England.

Vanité Clinic is on the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) approved provider list

By taking a COVID-19 PCR test you can reduce your self-isolation period from ten days to just five days if your test negative.

The earliest you can take your test is a full five days after you left your international destination. You must continue to self-isolate while you await your test result.

The rules on international travel are constantly changing so please check the government’s website to find out which countries are on the travel corridors list.

The simple to administer and accurate test can be posted to you or undertaken at Vanité Clinic and we courier your test to the lab the same day.

UK Travel Arrivals Test Kits

The Day 2 Rapid Test is no longer valid. Everyone entering the UK (other than those coming from the Common Travel Area that covers the Channel Islands and Ireland) will have to take PCR test by the end of the second day after their arrival and self-isolate until they receive a negative result.

You need to self isolate until you have received a negative result.

Fully Vaccinated in the UK, or with a UK recognised vaccination programme

Skip to the tests

These tests are required by the UK Government if you are arriving in the UK from overseas. It is a mandatory requirement for everyone arriving into the UK (unless you are specifically exempt) to take a Covid-19 PCR test on or before Day 2 of your self-isolation period, and then another test on or after Day 8.

All arrivals must also quarantine for 10 days, either in an approved hotel (if returning from a red list country) or an alternative approved location (if returning from any other country).

If your Day 2 test is positive, it will undergo further testing to identify variants of Covid-19. This is important to prevent new variants coming into the UK. Your Day 8 test is the final test before the end of your quarantine period.

You must order your Day 2 and Day 8 tests before you return to the UK. Failure to do so may incur fines and other penalties. You can order your tests as early as is convenient for you, and we will ship them to you on the required days or can be collected by your representative at Vanité Clinic.

When will I receive my test kits?

Your tests will be sent separately in accordance with Government guidelines. We will dispatch your Day 2 test kit to you by post on the day before you arrive in the UK. It should arrive on Day 0, the day you arrive in the UK. You must take this test anytime between when you arrive in the UK and Day 2 of your quarantine.

Please note that, by law, we cannot send your tests to you earlier than this. You should, however, order your tests as early as possible, prior to your arrival in the UK.

What should I do when I receive my test kit?

Please read the instructions included in your test kit carefully. You should then collect your sample using the swab provided and send it to our laboratory on the same day using the postage-paid return envelope or alternatively you can get someone to drop off the test samples at Vanité Clinic before 2:00 PM.

How will I receive my results?

We will send you an email as soon as your results are ready providing documentation showing proof of results.

What if I test positive for Covid-19?

You must self-isolate for 10 days from the day after your test date, even if you do not have symptoms of Covid-19. People who you live with or are travelling with should also self-isolate for 10 days.

How much does a Covid-19 Day 2 test cost?

£70 per person

What if I change my mind?

As Day 2 testing is a legal requirement, you are required to show your Vanité Clinic Confirmation Number to your airline. Cancellations will only be accepted 48 hours before your time of departure to the United Kingdom. We are unable to process any cancellation after this time due to UK Government requirements.
