Book Test

How it works

  1. We’ll send you a Patient ID number by email when you book your test. You’ll need this for your passenger locator form. 
  2. You’ll need to pay online while booking your test. 
  3. On the day of the test you will attend our private drive through test site. 
  4. Our swab practitioner will carry out the test while you remain safely seated in your car. 
  5. Test results are emailed and texted to you by the end of the next day. (Please note that if your sample has required a re-test at the laboratory, then this could delay your result by a few hours)

Please do not eat/drink anything or chew gum at least 30 minutes before having your swab taken.

Invalid results

On very rare occasions, a person’s swab sample will not provide a valid result. In this instance we will contact you to attend for another test.

The tests we use

The tests are CE marked and approved by the Department of Health.
