£99 Basic Screen £99 < Back Basic Screen The Basic Screen blood test provides a comprehensive overview of key health markers, including Full Blood Count, Kidney, Heart, Liver, and Diabetes Health. It helps assess overall health and identify potential health risks. Biomarkers: Full Blood Count: Full Blood Count (FBC) provides information about the different cells in the blood, these include the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen to the different tissues in the body whereas white blood cells control the immune system and protect the body from foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. FBC testing are used as a screening test for various disorders like anaemia and infections. FBC includes the following Individual Biomarkers: Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, mean cell Haemoglobin, mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), Mean cell volume, red blood cell count, Basophil count, Eosinophil count, Lymphocyte count, Monocyte count, Neutrophil count, white blood cell count, platelet count. Kidney Health: Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles and the kidney removes it via the urine. Creatinine tests are used as an indicator of whether the kidneys are working normally. eGFR stands for Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. It's a measure of how well your kidneys are filtering waste products from your blood. Chloride is an electrolyte involved in maintaining fluid balance and regulating pH levels. Testing for chloride levels is necessary to assess electrolyte imbalances, kidney function, or certain medical conditions. Monitoring chloride levels helps diagnose and manage conditions such as dehydration, kidney disorders, or blood pH imbalances. Monitoring chloride level is important in situations like persistent vomiting and/or diarrhoea. Chloride imbalances may occur with changes in levels of the other electrolytes. Potassium is a crucial electrolyte involved in nerve function, muscle contraction, and maintaining heart rhythm. Testing for potassium levels is necessary to assess electrolyte imbalances, kidney function, or certain medical conditions. Monitoring potassium levels reveals and helps manage conditions such as electrolyte imbalances, hypertension, or kidney disease. A high or low potassium level can be dangerous, and testing helps correct this. Phosphate is a mineral involved in bone formation, energy metabolism, and cell signalling. Abnormal phosphate levels can indicate various medical conditions, such as kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. Testing helps identify individuals at risk of phosphate abnormalities, enabling appropriate interventions, including dietary modifications or supplementation. Sodium is an electrolyte involved in fluid balance and nerve function. Testing for sodium levels is necessary to evaluate electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, or certain medical conditions. Monitoring sodium levels helps assess hydration status, guide appropriate treatments, and maintain electrolyte balance for overall health and well-being. A low sodium level can be dangerous, and testing helps monitor for this. Urea is a waste product that is filtered out of the bloodstream by the kidneys and passed out of the body in the urine. Urea tests are used to show how well the kidneys are working as well as an indicator for diseases affecting the kidneys and liver. Heart Health: Total Cholesterol is a measurement of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. This includes low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol is used to produce hormones for development, growth and reproduction. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol which is considered ‘good’ cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the heart’s arteries. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered ‘bad’ cholesterol because it contributes to cholesterol build-up and blockage in the arteries. Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio is a mathematical calculation which indicates the ratio of total cholesterol versus ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. Triglyceride is another type of fat (not the same as cholesterol) found in the bloodstream. High Sensitivity involves tests that can detect early signs of heart problems, like low inflammation in the body, even before symptoms appear. This helps identify people at risk for heart disease early, allowing for better prevention. C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a protein which increases in the blood during inflammation. hs CRP tests are used to predict the risk of heart conditions such as a heart attack. It can also be used to indicate whether an infection is bacterial or viral. Cholesterol Ratio compares total cholesterol to HDL (good cholesterol) levels. A lower ratio is better for heart health, while a higher ratio can increase the risk of heart disease. Liver Health: Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and bone. Abnormal levels of this enzyme can be a sign of liver or bone disease. Alanine Transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the heart, kidneys and muscles. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the liver, heart, kidneys and muscles and an abnormal level can be a sign of a problem with one of these organs. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the heart and muscles. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the liver, heart and muscles and an abnormal level can be a sign of a problem with one of these organs. Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the gallbladder, spleen, pancreas and kidney. It is important for the metabolism of drugs, alcohol and other toxins. GGT tests can be used to detect problems with metabolism such as excessive alcohol intake and problems with the organs where it is found. Total Bilirubin can be found in bile and red blood cells. Total bilirubin tests can be used to diagnose and monitor liver diseases and some types of anaemia. Albumin is a protein produced in the liver. It has many functions such as transporting hormones, vitamins and medications throughout the body. Albumin tests can be used to help diagnose and monitor diseases of the liver and kidney. Diabetes Health: Glucose A blood glucose test screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood. A high range could indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. A glucose test is also used to monitor glucose control for those people who are already known to have diabetes.

.. < Back Hydroxocobalamin 10mg £419 About this Drip This is a high-intensity therapeutic infusion containing 10mg of Hydroxocobalamin—a naturally occurring form of Vitamin B12. This drip is designed for individuals who require a significant B12 intervention that goes beyond standard wellness boosters. Our patients choose this drip to: Detoxify: It is highly recommended for smokers or those exposed to city pollution, as Hydroxocobalamin helps neutralize cyanide toxins in the blood. Restore: Treat severe fatigue or B12 deficiency that hasn't responded to lower doses. Combat: Fight "Nitrosative Stress"—a specific type of cellular stress linked to chronic exhaustion. Key Benefits For the Body: Longest Retention: Unlike other forms of B12 that are peed out quickly, Hydroxocobalamin binds to proteins in your blood plasma. This creates a "depot" effect, keeping your B12 levels elevated for a longer duration. Nerve Repair: High doses are essential for maintaining the myelin sheath (the protective coating around nerves), helping to reduce numbness, tingling, and neurological fatigue. Cellular Cleaning: By reducing the toxic load on the mitochondria (your cells' power plants), it helps restore efficient energy production. How it works (The Science) Most B12 supplements (Cyanocobalamin) must be converted by the body before use, and a large percentage is excreted immediately by the kidneys. Hydroxocobalamin is bio-identical to the B12 found in food. Because it binds avidly to transport proteins (Transcobalamin), it circulates in the bloodstream for a much longer period. The 10mg Dose ensures optimal tissue saturation. The Experience: What to expect At Epicare, we blend medical expertise with a relaxing environment to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as it is effective. Consultation: Your appointment begins with a brief health check with our clinician to review your medical history and ensure the formulation is perfectly suited to your needs. Relaxation: You will be seated comfortably in our clinic. Our experienced clinician will cleanse the area and gently insert a sterile micro-needle. The Infusion: Depending on your specific formulation, the drip will be administered over 30 to 60 minutes (longer for specialist drips). During this time, you are free to read, work on your phone, or simply close your eyes and relax. Aftercare: Once finished, the cannula is removed, and a sterile dressing is applied. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. We advise staying well-hydrated for the rest of the day to help your body circulate the nutrients. Pre-Treatment Blood Tests: We recommend that patients complete the following blood tests before treatment: Full Blood Count, ESR, Liver Function, Kidney Function, and G6PD enzyme. Our Epicare Basic Screen offers the best-value way to complete most of these. The ESR and G6PD enzyme tests can be added separately if required. Ingredients Hydroxocobalamin: 10 mg Note This service is exclusively for individuals aged 18 and over.

£89 per dose < Back Tick Encephalitis Adult £89 per dose Tick Encephalitis Adult Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection spread by tick bites. Ticks infected with the virus are found in parts of Europe (including the UK) and Asia. In the UK the risk of getting tick-borne encephalitis is very low. Ticks that carry the virus can be found in: most of Europe – including the UK Russia parts of China and Japan Ticks live in woodlands and grassy areas, but they can also be found in some parks and gardens. In the UK, only a very small number of ticks carry the TBE virus. Even if you're bitten by a tick, the risk of getting seriously ill is very low. What Vaccines are available? TBE vaccine should be considered for: All persons living in TBE risk areas Those at occupational risk in risk areas: farmers, forestry workers, soldiers Travellers at risk of disease Laboratory workers who may be exposed to TBE Vaccine Schedules Adults above 16 years (three doses) Conventional schedule Dose 1: Day 0 Dose 2: Between month 1 and 3 Dose 3: 5-12 months after dose 2 Accelerated schedule Second dose can be given 2 weeks after initial dose Protection duration: first booster should be given within 3 years of initial course, after this booster can be given at 5 year intervals. How far in advance do I need to book my vaccine for my trip? Ideally 2 weeks before but you can have the vaccine last up to the day before traveling. Prevention Travelers should: Avoid known heavily tick-infested areas of forest and woodland during the spring, summer, and autumn where possible Use an insect repellent such as DEET on your skin – you can also get clothes that contain insect repellent Check the body for ticks regularly. The larval forms of Ixodes ticks are tiny and difficult to see Avoid consumption of unpasteurized dairy products in areas of risk (a potential route of transmission) Seek advice from a medical practitioner if any signs of illness occur within 28 days of a tick bite Walk on clearly defined paths to avoid brushing against plants that may have ticks on them Wear long trousers and long-sleeved tops so it's harder for ticks to bite you TBE vaccination is available for those travelers intending to visit rural risk areas, or whose occupation may put them at higher risk (see below). If you're bitten by a tick, try to remove it as soon as possible. To remove a tick safely: Use a pair of fine-tipped tweezers or a tick removal tool (you can buy these from some pharmacies, vets and pet shops). Grasp the tick as close to your skin as possible and pull upwards slowly and firmly, as mouthparts left in the skin can cause a skin infection. Take care not to squeeze or crush the tick. Dispose of it when you have removed it. Clean the bite with antiseptic or soap and water. Need other vaccines? Please click on the links below for travel vaccination requirements/ advice.
