About the Antenatal Screening London
Looking for Antenatal Screening London near me in London? Medical and Dental offers this screening at two Central London locations: South Kensington (20 Old Brompton Road, SW7 3DL) and the City of London (5 Ave Maria Lane, EC4M 7AQ). This screening includes 14 biomarkers with results available in 3 working days, priced at £699 inclusive of blood draw by a registered nurse.
Antenatal screening is recommended during pregnancy to check for infections and immune status that could affect maternal or fetal health. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends testing for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis, and rubella immunity as part of routine antenatal care. This screening panel covers these key infections alongside additional markers relevant to pregnancy health.
Rubella (German measles) immunity is important to confirm, as rubella infection during pregnancy can cause serious birth defects. Hepatitis B screening is recommended because the virus can be transmitted from mother to baby during birth, and early identification allows for neonatal vaccination. HIV and syphilis screening enable timely treatment that can significantly reduce the risk of transmission. Blood group and antibody testing is also included to identify potential blood group incompatibility.
Medical and Dental operates from two Central London clinics. Our South Kensington clinic is open seven days a week with flexible hours. Our City of London clinic is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. To book your Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening at either location, call 020 7183 2362 or book online.

How to Prepare
Fast for 10–12 hours before your appointment
Avoid food and drinks other than water. This is necessary for accurate fasting glucose, lipid, and metabolic marker results.
Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Good hydration makes it easier for the registered nurse to draw your blood sample.
Bring a list of current medications
Some medications can affect biomarker levels. Knowing what you take helps our team interpret your results accurately.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours beforehand
Intense physical activity can temporarily affect certain blood markers including liver enzymes, muscle markers, and hormone levels.
Attend your appointment at either Central London clinic
Choose from South Kensington (20 Old Brompton Road, SW7 3DL) or City of London (5 Ave Maria Lane, EC4M 7AQ). Both clinics are easily accessible by public transport.
