Urine Testing and Drug Testing

What is Urine and Drug Testing?

Urine and drug testing provides assurances that your team isn’t using performance-enhancing drugs to ensure their health and to maintain the reputation of the club and sport. Through these tests, we can also detect and monitor certain conditions. 

How Urine and Drug Testing Works

We test the athlete's blood and/or urine with discretion. The experts examine the sample to flag performance-enhancing drugs and detect conditions affecting the kidneys and diabetes. 

What to expect from Urine and Drug Testing

At the test, the athlete will produce a urine sample in a given pot. If the drug test is a blood sample, the healthcare professional will draw blood from the inside of the elbow. This will feel like a sharp scratch. You will have the results in 24-48 hours. 

Risks and complications of Urine and Drug Testing

If you are having a blood draw, you risk feeling dizzy or faint. You may also have a bruise at the needle site. 

How to recover from Urine and Drug Testing

After the test, you will be able to go straight home.

Payment Options

Medical Insurance

If you are paying for your procedure or treatment with medical insurance, you will need to liaise closely with the insurance provider throughout the process.

​​Before attending your first appointment, you should contact your insurance company to check that that your condition is covered for all stages of treatments.​

You will need to visit your GP and ask them to refer you to The LivingCare Group at Thorpe Park Clinic for a private procedure. Your GP will write a letter of referral and then either you or your GP can contact us to arrange your first appointment.

Self Pay

We understand that immediate access to healthcare is sometimes essential. With our self-pay service, there are no waiting lists. Within 24 hours, you will be offered a consultation date to see a medical professional that is convenient for you. Our expert team can then give you an assessment and treatment within 1 week of your consultation.

Your consultation and any tests, scans or investigations will be charged separately, however all of these costs will be quoted to you before anything commences and you are under no obligation to continue your treatment with us unless you are happy to do so.
