COVID-19 Coronavirus Testing with DocTap
Please note that we no longer offer Covid-19 PCR tests.
Covid-19 Tests
| Test | Price | Results | Accuracy | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antibody (IgG) Lab Test | £49 + GP consultation fee | 1-2 days | Sensitivity: >99%, Specificity: >99% | |
Should you prefer a Covid-19 test which is analysed in a laboratory then any of our GPs can take this for you. We offer 2 laboratory tests, one to check for antibodies from previous infection, and one to check for the presence of antibodies in response to the Covid-19 vaccine. Please select Laboratory Antibody Test on the booking page. The GP consultation fee is payable on booking (typically £59) and the test itself (£49) will be payable in the consultation once you have discussed it with the doctor. Antibody tests check whether you have had the virus in the past, NOT whether you are currently infected. We can only do antibody tests 14+ days after all your symptoms have cleared up. |
