- Jet Lag
£30 < Back Jet Lag £30 Condition Explained Jet Lag is the feeling of your body’s” internal clock” adjusting to a new time zone. It occurs after you travel across several time zones by plane causing an abrupt change to your sleeping pattern . It usually improves within a few days as your body adjusts to the new time zone. Symptoms The main symptoms of jet lag are: Difficulty sleeping at bedtime and waking up in the morning Tiredness and exhaustion Difficulty staying awake during the day Poor sleep quality Concentration and memory problems Jet lag can also sometimes cause indigestion , feeling sick (nausea) , constipation , changes in appetite and mild anxiety. Treatments Treatment for jet lag Medicines are not usually needed for jet lag. Jet lag often improves after a few days as your body clock adjusts to the new time zone. Sleeping tablets may be helpful if you're having problems sleeping ( insomnia ). But they can be addictive so should only be used for a short time and if symptoms are severe. Melatonin is a natural hormone released by the body in the evening to let your brain know it's time to sleep. Melatonin tablets are not recommended on the NHS for jet lag because there's not enough evidence to show they work.
- Typhoid Oral
£45 (three dose) < Back Typhoid Oral £45 (three dose) Typhoid Oral Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection that can spread throughout the body, affecting many organs. Without prompt treatment, it can cause serious complications and can be fatal. It's caused by a bacterium called Salmonella typhi, which is related to the bacteria that cause salmonella food poisoning . Typhoid fever is highly contagious. An infected person can pass the bacteria out of their body in their poo or, less commonly, in their pee. If someone else eats food or drinks water that's been contaminated with a small amount of infected poo or pee, they can become infected with the bacteria and develop typhoid fever. The main symptoms of typhoid fever are: a persistent high temperature that gradually increases each day headache general aches and pains extreme tiredness (fatigue) cough constipation As the infection progresses, you may lose your appetite, feel sick, and have a tummy ache and diarrhoea . Some people may develop a rash. If typhoid fever isn't treated, the symptoms will continue to get worse over the following weeks and the risk of developing potentially fatal complications will increase. What Vaccines are available? Vaccination is recommended for travellers whose planned activities put them at higher risk of typhoid infection in areas where sanitation and food hygiene are likely to be poor. Country-specific information on the risk of typhoid can be found in our Country Information pages . Vaccinations currently available only protect against typhoid and not paratyphoid infection. Both oral and injectable vaccines are available. Some vaccinations are combined with hepatitis A. Vaccine Schedules Children and adults from 5 years (three doses) Dose 1: Day 0 Dose 2: Day 2 Dose 3: Day 4 Protection duration: Booster should be given at 3 year intervals. How far in advance do I need to book my vaccine for my trip? Ideally, complete the course10 before but you can have the vaccine last up to the day before traveling.

- STI Ct/NG
£59 < Back STI Ct/NG £69 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. Recent infection: The test may not detect very recent infections. If you have any concerns about STIs, Ct/NG testing, or need to schedule a screening, talk to your doctor or visit a sexual health clinic.

- Diphtheria Tetanus Polio (DTP)
£35 per dose < Back Diphtheria Tetanus Polio (DTP) £35 per dose Diphtheria Tetanus Polio (DTP) Diphtheria is a highly infectious bacterial infection that can affect the nose and throat (respiratory diphtheria), and sometimes the skin (cutaneous diphtheria). The bacterium can infect the nose and throat and release a toxin. The main symptoms are sore throat, difficulty and/or pain on swallowing, husky voice, fever, cough and headache. The toxin produced may affect other organs and it can be fatal. In countries where hygiene is poor, cutaneous diphtheria is the main source of infection causing painful, non-healing skin ulcers which often become infected with other bacteria. Severe illness is unusual. This type of diphtheria is spread by contact with discharge from contagious skin lesions. Tetanus is a vaccine-preventable disease caused by a toxin produced by bacteria called Clostridium tetani . Tetanus spores are found in soil throughout the world but is more common in resource-poor countries. The disease is acquired when material containing these spores, such as soil, contaminates a wound. The toxin released from the bacteria may then attack the nerves of the brain and spinal cord, the main symptom is lockjaw (trismus), characterised by uncontrollable spasms and possibly death. Poliomyelitis (polio) is a potentially paralysing, vaccine-preventable, viral infection. The virus is transmitted through food or water contaminated by infected human faeces or by direct contact with an infectious person. Polio is extremely rare in UK travellers, those at increased risk include travellers visiting friends and relatives, those in direct contact with an infected person, long-stay travellers, and those visiting areas of poor sanitation. Most individuals (about 95 percent) who acquire polio do not develop symptoms. When they do occur symptoms may range from a mild illness with fever, to symptoms of meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain) or paralysis. Although paralysis occurs in less than one percent of infections it is frequently long lasting. What Vaccines are available? DPT is a combination vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. It is a single-dose vaccine that requires a booster after 10 years if at continued risk. Vaccine Schedules Adul ts and children above 10 years (single dose) Dose 1: Day 0 Protection Duration: A booster is recommended after 10 years when traveling to a high-risk country. How far in advance do I need to book my vaccine for my trip? You can have the vaccine last up to the day before traveling. Prevention Diphtheria Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infection. Travellers should ensure they are up to date with their routine vaccines according to the NHS vaccination schedule . Some types of diphtheria bacteria can spread from animals to humans. Travellers should be advised not to consume raw dairy products, to avoid close contact with cattle/farm animals and to follow good personal hygiene rules to minimise risk of infection. Tetanus All travellers should be aware of the risk of accidents, thoroughly clean all wounds and seek appropriate medical attention. Further vaccines and/or immunoglobulin treatment may be recommended. Polio An effective vaccination against polio is available. In addition to vaccination travellers should ensure good personal hygiene and follow advice on prevention of food and water-borne diseases. Need other vaccines?

- Tick Encephalitis Junior
£65 per dose < Back Tick Encephalitis Junior £65 per dose Tick Encephalitis Junior 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 spread it 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 Children aged between 1 and 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 The second dose can be given 2 weeks after initial dose Protection Duration: the first booster should be given within 3 years of the 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.

- General Health Profile
General Health Profile £99 < Back General Health Profile This detailed profile provides an excellent baseline health check. It helps you proactively manage your health and identify/ monitor many underlying or pre-existing conditions throughout your body. This profile is a comprehensive check of your liver & kidney function, your muscle & bone health, gout, iron levels, diabetes (HbA1c), and full Cholesterol. Biomarkers: Cholesterol: High cholesterol levels can cause your arteries to become blocked - leading to coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke. Finding out about high levels of cholesterol can help you to make the positive lifestyle and dietary changes needed to improve your chances of a long and healthy life. 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. Non-HDL Cholesterol is a measurement of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood excluding the ‘good’ high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). Triglyceride is another type of fat (not the same as cholesterol) found in the bloodstream. HDL percentage. This is the percentage of Total Cholesterol that consists of ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol. Kidney Function: Your kidneys play a vital role in keeping your body functioning including the removal of waste products, releasing hormones to regulate blood pressure and controlling the production of red blood cells. A healthy kidney function is vital to your overall health and wellbeing. Urea is a waste product of the amino acids found in proteins. It is released into the bloodstream and the kidney filters urea out of the blood and excretes it 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. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles during contraction. It can be found in the blood and urine as it is excreted by the kidneys. Creatinine tests are used as an indicator of whether the kidneys are working normally. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is a measurement of glomerular function. Glomeruli are the filters in the kidney used to filter waste products from the blood. GFR tests are used to detect and monitor changes in the kidney status. Liver Function: The liver is responsible for many of the body's essential functions such as regulating blood sugar levels, fighting infections and detoxifying your blood. Good liver function is vital to your overall health and wellbeing. Albumin is a protein specifically produced in the liver. Its function consists of keeping fluids in the bloodstream as well as transporting substances like hormones and vitamins throughout the body. Albumin tests can be used to help diagnose and monitor diseases of the liver and kidney. Globulin is a protein produced in the liver by the immune system. It is important in liver function, blood clotting and fighting infections. Globulin tests can be used to diagnose conditions including liver damage or disease, kidney disease and autoimmune disorders. Total Protein is the total amount of two proteins found in the serum of the blood, these are albumin and globulin. Albumin is needed to keep fluid in the bloodstream whereas globulin is an essential part of the immune system. Total protein tests are used as an indicator to there being a problem with albumin or globulin levels. Alkaline Phosphate (ALP) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and bone. ALP tests can be used to diagnose liver or bone disease. Alanine Transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme which can be found mostly in the liver and in small amounts in the heart, kidneys and the skeletal muscle. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the heart, liver, kidney and skeletal muscle. ALT tests can be used to diagnose liver disease. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme produced by the liver. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury of the heart, liver and skeletal muscle. AST tests can be used to detect liver disease. Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme mostly found in the liver and is also present in the gallbladder, spleen, pancreas and kidney. It is a significant enzyme used in the liver metabolism of drugs and other toxins. GGT tests can be used to detect liver disease and bile duct injury. Total Bilirubin is a test which measures the amount of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin can be found in bile to help digest food. It is also produced from broken down haem, which is old red blood cells that used to carry oxygen around the body. Total bilirubin tests can be used to diagnose and monitor liver diseases and certain types of anaemia. Iron Studies: Iron studies are a set of blood tests used to measure the amount of iron carried in the blood and stored in the bodies tissues. Iron deficiency can be the cause of a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, chest pains and a shortness of breath. Iron is a mineral which is needed for making red blood cells, which transports oxygen in the blood, and is important for healthy muscles, bone marrow and organ function. Iron is measured to show the amount of iron in the blood. Low levels of iron can indicate anaemia whereas high levels can indicate liver disease. Total Iron Binding Concentration (TIBC) is the maximum amount of iron that can be transported in the blood. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. TIBC tests are used to determine iron status and its absorption. This can be used to help diagnose Anaemia and iron overload conditions such as Haemochromatosis. Your TIBC will be impaired if you also have existing liver disease. Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration (UIBC) is the amount of transferrin that is reserved for the iron transportation. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. UIBC tests are used to monitor treatment for iron toxicity. Ferritin is a blood protein that is used to store iron. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. It is measured to understand how much iron the body stores. Ferritin test are used to diagnose anaemia and liver disease. Transferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein that is produced by the liver. It is used to transport iron which transports oxygen in the blood. Transferrin tests are used to determine iron status and can be used to diagnose anaemia. Transferrin saturation is the value of serum iron divided by the total iron-binding capacity of the available transferrin. Diabetes: Checking your levels of HbA1c is a way of confirming if you have (or are at risk of developing) diabetes. Unmanaged or undiagnosed diabetes is one of the leading causes of mortality. For anyone who already knows they have diabetes, regular HbA1c checks are essential to monitor progress. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test is used to measure the average level of blood sugar over the past two to three months and is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. The sugar is called glucose which builds up in the blood and binds to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells. Bone: 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. Calcium is an important mineral which is found in the bones as well as circulating in the blood. It has a range of functions and is essential in bone formation and blood clotting. Calcium tests are used to diagnose and monitor conditions relating to the bone, heart and kidneys. Adjusted Calcium is also known as the corrected calcium because it factors in how much calcium is active and how much is inactive in the blood. Calcium tests are used to diagnose and monitor different conditions correlating to the bone, heart and kidneys Urate . High levels of Urate (Uric acid) can cause gout which is a form of painful arthritis and kidney stones. The level of urate can be used to detect a risk for these conditions Muscle Enzymes: Creatine Kinase is an enzyme found in muscles. The Creatine kinase test can be used to diagnose and monitor muscular injuries and diseases such as muscular dystrophy. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), is an enzyme present in many tissue and organs in the body. Testing for LDH levels is necessary to assess cellular damage which can indicate many underlying diseases such as liver disease, heart disease or cancer. Raised LDH levels can also indicate inflammation. LDH testing is usually performed with other blood tests and helps provide more information regarding an underlying disease.

- Meningitis ACWY
£55 per dose < Back Meningitis ACWY £55 per dose Meningitis ACWY Meningococcal disease is a rare, but potentially devastating infection. It is caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitis of which there are 6 disease-causing strains called serogroups (A, B, C, W, Y and X). Approximately 10 percent of the general population of the UK is thought to carry N. meningitis in the lining of the nose and throat. Spread between individuals occurs through coughing, sneezing, kissing, or during close contact with a carrier. Carriers do not have symptoms but can develop disease when bacteria invade the bloodstream from the nasopharynx (area at the back of the nose and throat). Invasive disease is a rare but serious outcome usually presenting as septicemia (blood poisoning) or meningitis (infection of the lining of the brain). Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meninges). It can affect anyone but is most common in babies, young children, teenagers, and young adults. Meningitis can be very serious if not treated quickly. It can cause life-threatening blood poisoning ( sepsis ) and result in permanent damage to the brain or nerves. Symptoms of meningitis develop suddenly and can include: a high temperature (fever) being sick a headache a rash that does not fade when a glass is rolled over it (but a rash will not always develop) a stiff neck a dislike of bright lights drowsiness or unresponsiveness seizures (fits) These symptoms can appear in any order. You do not always get all the symptoms. What Vaccines are available? The MenACWY vaccine is given by a single injection into the upper arm and protects against 4 strains of the meningococcal bacteria – A, C, W and Y – which cause meningitis and blood poisoning (septicaemia) . Vaccine Schedules Birth to less than 1 year (two doses) Dose 1: Day 0 Dose 2: Month 1 Children and adults from 1 year Single dose Protection Duration: 10 years How far in advance do I need to book my vaccine for my trip? Complete the schedule 10 days before travelling. Prevention Individuals should seek advice about their risk of meningitis before travel. Meningococcal disease in travellers is primarily a risk for those visiting areas prone to outbreaks or an area where a known outbreak is occurring. Travellers visiting such locations who are at particular risk include: long-stay travellers who have close contact with the local population healthcare workers those visiting friends and relatives those travelling for Hajj and Umrah those who live or travel ‘rough’ such as backpackers individuals with no spleen or a poorly functioning spleen individuals with certain immune deficiencies Outbreaks are more common in the dry season as well as during religious pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia.
