Test Price Lab results *
Antibody (IgG) Lab Test £49 + GP consultation fee 1-2 days

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.

Can I change or cancel my test?

We charge extra for changing the appointment date/time/location as our prices vary depending on peak times. We can refund in full so long as you have not yet taken the test, but unable to make changes or refunds after you have taken the test. To change or cancel your test please log into your DocTap account. 

How do I book tests for multiple people?

Simply book a test for the first member of your party.  Then repeat the process for another test, but on the payment screen enter the details of the second person.  Repeat for any other members of your party.

If you have accidentally booked multiple tests for the same person then don't worry, you will receive an automated email checking that this is what you wanted.  To make a change simply reply to the email with the second person's details. Please ensure we have the correct details before you take your test.

Yes. Many countries require your passport number to be present on your test results certificate. You will be invited to enter your passport number or ID number on booking.  Alternatively, you can enter it at any time in your DocTap portal. It will then be shown on your test results certificate.

Can I get my certificate signed by a doctor?

To ensure the fastest possible turnaround, your results and doctor's certificate will be emailed to you.  Our doctor's letters are on a DocTap headed document and include the signature and GMC number of our medical director. We have had very few requests for paper copies or stamps.

Should you require one of these then we can arrange it to be stamped or signed at one of our London clinics at no extra charge. If you require this please let us know once you have received your results.  Please allow an additional 24 hours to arrange printing and signing of your certificate.  We only have a limited number of London locations where you can collect a certificate from.  We will be able to advise you on your options depending on the day your results are available.

Can I get a certificate without a test?

No. We are only able to issue doctor's certificates for tests which have been booked with DocTap.

What identification do I need?

When attending your appointment, please bring your booking reference number (in your confirmation email) and official, government-issue photo identification. Your ID needs to match the name that the booking is under.

I need a Covid test for travelling. What test should I get?

We offer antigen (lateral flow) tests, but please check the requirements for your destination country as it is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct test. DocTap cannot be held liable if you book the incorrect test.

Can I have a test if I have Covid-19 symptoms?

No. We are only able to offer tests for patient who do not have symptoms of Covid-19. You will be asked to confirm this on booking.

What is the Covid-19 policy for my particular country or airline?

Please see the latest goverment travel advice and testing requirements for your destination country here.

What type of antigen test do you offer?

DocTap have selected the Acon Covid-19 antigen (lateral flow) test.  This is available from £24 and is a UK Public Health England (UKHSA) approved antigen test with a sensitivity of 97.1% and a specificity of 99.5% compared with PCR. Many countries accept antigen tests as a condition for entry, and they are significantly cheaper and quicker than PCR.  However, many places still stipulate PCR so check the requirements for your country before booking a fit to fly certificate.

We offer a self-test service only at our clinics. You will receive your results and doctor's certificate by email within 1 hour.

Can my child have a COVID-19 test?
