£75 per dose < Back Varicella (Chicken Pox) £75 per dose Varicella (Chicken Pox) Chickenpox is common and mostly affects children, but you can get it at any age. It usually gets better by itself after 1 to 2 weeks without needing to see a GP. An itchy, spotty rash is the main symptom of chickenpox. It can be anywhere on the body. Chickenpox happens in 3 stages. But new spots can appear while others are becoming blisters or forming a scab. Stage 1: small spots appear Stage 2: the spots become blisters Stage 3: the blisters become scabs Other symptoms Before or after the rash appears, you might also get: a high temperature aches and pains, and generally feeling unwell loss of appetite Chickenpox is very itchy and can make children feel miserable, even if they do not have many spots. The chickenpox spots look the same on children and adults. But adults usually have a high temperature for longer and more spots than children. It's possible to get chickenpox more than once, but it's unusual. What Vaccines are available? The vaccine is recommended for people who are not immune to chickenpox and are in close contact with people at risk of becoming seriously ill if they catch it. For example, if you're having chemotherapy, any children you're in close contact with who are not immune to chickenpox should be given the chickenpox vaccine. This can reduce the risk of them getting the infection and spreading it to you. The vaccine is also given to people who are not immune to chickenpox whose job puts them at risk of catching it. This includes: healthcare workers who are not immune to chickenpox and are in contact with patients (including cleaners, catering staff and receptionists) laboratory staff who are not immune to chickenpox and who may be exposed to chickenpox through their work The vaccine is not given to people with a weakened immune system as it contains a small amount of the live virus that causes chickenpox. The virus in the vaccine is weakened so it's safe for most people, but it could make you ill if you have a weakened immune system. Vaccine Schedules The vaccine is given as 2 separate injections. The second dose should generally be given 6 - 8 weeks after the first dose. Under no circumstances should the interval between the doses be less than 4 weeks. Prevention The best way to prevent chickenpox is to get the chickenpox vaccine. Everyone—including children, adolescents, and adults—should get two doses of chickenpox vaccine if they have never had chickenpox or were never vaccinated. Need to book more than one vaccine?

£59 < Back STI Ct/NG £59 Description STI Ct/NG refers to a specific combination test used to detect Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), two of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This test is often used because both Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea can cause similar symptoms and can sometimes co-occur. Here's a breakdown of the Ct/NG test: Type of Test: This is a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), most commonly performed using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sample Collection: A urine sample or swabs from the cervix, vagina, or urethra are collected depending on your anatomy and sexual practices. What it Detects: The test detects the genetic material (DNA) of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea bacteria in the sample. Benefits: Accurate: NAATs are highly accurate for detecting Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. Fast: Results are typically available within 1-2 days. Non-invasive: Urine sample or swabs are less invasive than some other STI tests. Who Should Get Tested? Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for STIs, especially if they have new sexual partners or experience symptoms. Symptoms of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea can include: Burning sensation during urination Unusual vaginal discharge for people with vulvas Unusual discharge from the penis Pelvic pain (lower abdominal pain) Testicular pain Treatment: If you test positive for Chlamydia or Gonorrhea, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. It's important to complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is cleared. Limitations of Ct/NG Test: Doesn't detect all STIs: This test only detects Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. A comprehensive STI screening may include additional tests for other STIs.

£59 < Back Urine Microscopy and Culture £59 Urine Microscopy and Culture Urine microscopy and culture is a two-part test used to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other conditions that affect the urinary system. Urine microscopy examines a sample of your urine under a microscope to look for: White blood cells (WBCs): The presence of large numbers of WBCs, also known as pyuria, can indicate an infection or inflammation in the urinary tract. Red blood cells (RBCs): The presence of RBCs, also known as hematuria, can indicate bleeding in the urinary tract, which can be caused by a variety of conditions, including UTIs, kidney stones, and tumors. Bacteria or yeast: The presence of bacteria or yeast can indicate an infection. Crystals: The presence of crystals can indicate dehydration or certain medical conditions. Urine culture involves growing any bacteria or yeast present in the urine sample in a controlled laboratory setting. This helps to identify the specific organism causing the infection and determine which antibiotics will be most effective in treating it. When is a urine microscopy and culture ordered? A urine microscopy and culture may be ordered if you have symptoms of a UTI, such as: Pain or burning urination Frequent urination Urgent urination Difficulty urinating Blood in the urine (hematuria) Cloudy urine The test may also be ordered if you have a fever or other signs of infection, or if you are being monitored for a condition that affects the urinary tract, such as kidney stones or diabetes. How is a urine microscopy and culture performed? For a urine microscopy and culture, you will need to provide a urine sample. This can be done in a doctor's office, clinic, or at home. The most common way to collect a urine sample is a midstream clean catch collection. To do this, you will be given a sterile container and instructions on how to clean the genital area before collecting the urine. You will then urinate into the toilet and then collect the urine midstream into the container. It is important to collect a midstream sample to avoid contamination with bacteria from the skin. What do the results mean? The results of a urine microscopy and culture will typically be available within a few days. Urine microscopy: -A normal urine microscopy will show few or no WBCs, RBCs, bacteria, or yeast. -An abnormal urine microscopy may show an increased number of WBCs, RBCs, bacteria, or yeast. Urine Urine culture: -A negative urine culture means that no bacteria or yeast were found in the urine sample. -A positive urine culture means that bacteria or yeast were found in the urine sample. The report will also identify the specific organism and its sensitivity to different antibiotics. What if the results are abnormal? If your urine microscopy and culture results are abnormal, your doctor will discuss the results with you and recommend treatment. Treatment will depend on the specific cause of the infection. If bacteria are found, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. If yeast is found, an antifungal medication will be prescribed. Estimated turnaround times: 7-10 Working days Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above. During booking, only a £30 deposit is required , which will be deducted from the total cost. The remaining payment will be collected at a later stage.
