What is infection testing?

Infection testing is used to identify the cause of symptoms such as cough, flu-like illness, urinary symptoms, or gastrointestinal upset. At Belfast Private GP, we offer a range of diagnostic tests to detect viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections.

Tests can be booked as stand-alone investigations or arranged during a GP consultation. Depending on your symptoms, samples may include swabs, urine, sputum, stool samples, or blood tests. All samples are sent to our laboratory partners for analysis.
