Covid-19

We’re here to make it as easy as possible for you to see a GP even during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our GPs are making home visits for those with Covid-19 symptoms (at the standard home visit rate). If you do have any flu like symptoms, or simply want additional reassurance please let our customer service team know when booking, and we will despatch a Covid-19 visiting GP with highly specialised PPE.

We can also see you remotely via video or telephone at standard rates.

If you are currently experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, a GP will assess your symptoms via video consult and prescribe a PCR test to determine whether you have the virus. Results and a plan for care are delivered via GP tele-consult.

We can also carry out PCR tests for asymptomatic patients should they need to ascertain whether or not they are carrying the virus, i.e. a safe return to the workplace, visiting vulnerable relatives or obtaining fit to fly certification.

Antibody testing detects antibodies in your blood which indicates whether you have previously contracted the virus.  This test is only effective when conducted more than 14 days after detecting symptoms. If you have had the vaccination, we can on request test for the presence of antibodies, please call 0203 805 1781.

Yes, we can test children, although younger children may find the test a little distressing and we’d recommend that it is administered by a clinician at one of our testing centres.

GPDQ’s risk stratification tool calculates your risk in relation to Covid-19 based on a mental and physical health assessment form. A GP will explain your risk level via tele-consult.

All services provide a test result 24 – 48hrs from when the laboratory receives your sample.

Testing at your home or in a clinic is location dependent. Call our Customer Support team to find your nearest clinician-led testing service: 0203 805 1781.
