Book your clinic and time
Choose from 100+ clinics. When you pick one, you will see whether it collects your urine sample on site or sends you a kit to bring with you.
-
If needed, collect your sample at home first
Some clinics do not collect urine on site. For those, we post an unlabelled collection kit to your home or a Post Office of your choosing. Book at least 4 days ahead so it arrives, then follow the instructions and bring it with you.
-
Visit the clinic
Our clinics are located in discreet, general health settings, so no one will know why you are there. Depending on the clinic, you may need to bring your test kit and/or a valid ID — we'll let you know in advance if either is required. A trained nurse or doctor will collect the samples needed for your test, which may include blood, urine or a swab.
