Fast, Accurate PCR Testing at Higher Crumpsall Pharmacy
Flying soon and need a test? You are in the right place.
We provide private PCR testing at Higher Crumpsall Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Manchester. Results come back within 24 to 48 hours. Your PCR fit to fly certificate for Manchester travel is included. No referral, no fuss. Just book and come in.
What Is a PCR Test?
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction. It is a swab test that checks for COVID-19.
We take a quick swab from your nose and throat. That sample goes straight to a UKAS-accredited lab. You get your result by email, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
It is one of the most reliable COVID tests out there. Airlines, employers, and governments worldwide accept it.
Symptoms of COVID-19
Not sure if you need a test? These are the signs to look out for:
- A temperature that will not settle
- A cough that keeps coming back
- Losing your sense of smell or taste
- Feeling breathless or tight in the chest
- Wiped out and exhausted for no clear reason
- A sore throat, runny nose, or bad headache
- Aching muscles or joints
Some people come to us with no symptoms at all. Travel, work, or just wanting to be sure. Whatever your reason, we are here.

I use this pharmacy regularly and every time the service is friendly, polite and efficient. The interior is well laid-out, well stocked, bright, modern and functional. It has everything one would expect or hope for in a pharmacy. Well done, team. Keep up the good work.

A really helpful local pharmacy. They offer a free delivery service, which makes getting prescriptions more accessible. The staff are always friendly, helpful and professional, and the pharmacy itself is clean, tidy and has plenty of seating if you need to wait. It’s only been in the neighbourhood for about a year, so not everyone knows about it yet, but I’d definitely recommend giving it a try – you won’t be disappointed.
