I need to get my new certs done asap and need them ready by friday.
Anyone recommend a clinic that gets results back in 2 days?
Going to be in Notts and London this week so either of those places.
Thanks in advance

Regents Park Clinic
HOWEVER
It is my understanding that all the private places use the same third party centre for some of the tests, and this centre has had a couple of issues recently, causing delays of a day or two.
If you want certs by Friday, get tested Monday.

Yeh I normally use Regents Park but have been having problems with them recently with the results taking longer to come back.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks Bill from Continuum for your email too.

It's not RPC's fault.
Somewhere in the Uk is a lab to which all the samples are sent from most or maybe all the private labs. This third party lab has, I have been told, been having some technical issues stemming from an equipment failure before xmas leading to it sometimes taking an extra day or two.
But they still turn round faster than any NHS I know of.
So if going private it doesn't make any difference where you go, UNLESS they can confirm that they do all their testing in house, but since neither RPC or Bristol do that, I'd be surprised if anywhere else did.
Good luck.
