Coronavirus (Covid-19) PCR testing in Birmingham

We are able to perform same day RT PCR Tests for Coronavirus and issue you a medical certificate. Many Airlines are now requesting a fitness to fly certificate and proof of negative Covid-19 status.  

The test involves taking a swab from the throat and nasal cavity.

The tests are processed by an UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) approved lab and are CE marked.

We will issue you a certificate which you can provide to your airline company prior to departure.

The tests are for individuals who don’t have any symptoms. If you have symptoms of persistent cough, fever or loss of taste/smell you should order a test straight away through the NHS Test and Trace Service.

There are three types of results

Positive

  • A positive result indicates you had coronavirus when the test was done
  • You should self-isolate for at least 10 days from when you had the test
  • Anyone you live with and in your support bubble must also self-isolate for 14 days when you started to self-isolate
  • You may be contacted by NHS and asked for information to help the NHS alert your close contacts

Negative

  • A negative result means the test did not detect coronavirus
  • We will be able to issue you a certificate and provide you with the test details

Void

  • A void tests indicates that the result is inconclusive. You will need to have a repeat test to confirm the results

We are able to provide an express service where we will issue you a signed medical certificate and PCR results within 24 hours. The fee for such service is £250.
