COVID-19 TESTING is currently available for work or travel requirements. Click here for more PCR test information
The Exeter Travel Clinic (and our Barnstaple site) remain open, but currently not at weekends. Any specific test enquiries should be emailed: enquiries@exetertravelclinic.co.uk
Our covid-19 PCR testing is undertaken by trained, medical professionals and processed by a local laboratory.
Our samples are couriered to the laboratory each day. The samples are then processed and the results are normally back by midnight of the following day. If the results come back after working hours, they will be emailed to you on the morning of the next working day.
Why do Covid tests cost so much?
All healthcare professionals require extra certification to provide PCR testing services. This accreditation is hugely expensive and unfortunately, unavoidable.
Please note: we are not part of either the test-to-release scheme, or the day 2 and 8 return home scheme

Can you get autism from vaccines?
NoThere is absolutely no evidence linking vaccines with autism.A huge meta-analysis (a study of 10 large studies involving more than 1.2 million children) demonstrated there is absolutely no link. If you are interested, the study can be found here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X14006367This position is supported by the UK National Autistic Society: https://bit.ly/2OY5XLzClinic nurses regularly discuss these issues with parents and completely understand the complex range of opinions available. Our nurses are always willing to talk these issues through and will happily review any information that you have been given.
Are there side effects when you have a vaccine?
As with any medication, there is always the risk of side effects and vaccines are no different. However, the risks of side effects are far smaller than the risk of the diseases they prevent. The main side effects children appear to have after a vaccine are fevers, injection site pain, occasional rashes and feeling ‘under-the-weather’, or a bit grumpy. There may be specific side effects associated with particular vaccines, and these will be discussed with individual patients/parents.
