VIVO Clinic now offers pre-travel PCR tests in Derby now.
PCR tests are now commonplace, especially so if you are about to embark on foreign travel. Countries around the world are prohibiting visitors from crossing their borders without a negative PCR test.
If you are travelling from the UK, you must have your pre-travel PCR test taken from a government-registered supplier. Per government guidelines, the NHS COVID-19 tests are not to be used for travel purposes.
What are PCR tests?
PCR (short for Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests are laboratory techniques that look for the genetic material of a particular organism in samples. In this case, PCR tests are used to find COVID-19 RNA in samples extracted from human subjects.
Why do I need a PCR test to travel?
Countries around the world have restricted entry only to foreign visitors who can prove to be COVID-19 negative. Thus, you must take a PCR test before you travel. If your result is negative, you will be free to enter your destination country.
When should I book my in-clinic PCR test?
You should determine when you need to take the PCR test by referring to the entry requirements of the country you are visiting. Every country has their own policy on how old a PCR test can be before it becomes invalid. The most common requirement is 72 hours prior to departure.
Please refer to the government’s website for the latest entry requirements before booking any in-clinic PCR tests in Derby.
Will you provide me with a fit-to-fly certificate?
Yes. Our PCR tests service in Derby involves supplying fit-to-fly certificates with every conclusive negative result.
Is your laboratory regulated?
Our laboratory is fully regulated and overseen by Care Quality Commission. Our laboratory’s certificate number is CRT1-4708702735.
How are VIVO Clinic’s PCR tests in Derby done?
The PCR tests we offer in Derby are comprised of two key steps:
- On the day of the test appointment, our clinical staff will collect samples from your throat and nose using swabs.
- The swab samples will then be transported to our laboratory facilities for polymerase chain reaction testing.

Can I find out about a previous infection with a PCR test?
Unfortunately, not. PCR tests can only confirm a current infection or the lack thereof.
VIVO Clinic’s immune response test is perfect for checking whether you have had a previous infection.
What if my PCR test result comes back positive for COVID-19?
On receiving a positive PCR test result, you will be strictly prohibited from travelling.
If you get a positive result, you must quarantine for ten days and ask everyone you came in close contact with recently to get tested immediately.
