About the Antenatal Screening South Kensington
Our Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, 20 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington, London SW7 3DL. Our South Kensington clinic is a short walk from South Kensington Underground station, with flexible opening hours including weekends. 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.
Our South Kensington clinic offers flexible opening hours: Monday and Wednesday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. We are a short walk from South Kensington Underground station (Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines). To book your Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening, 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.
