Questions
What travel vaccines do I need for my destination?
Vaccine requirements depend on your destination, travel duration, and health risks. Common vaccines include Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever. Consult our pharmacists for personalised advice.
How early should I get travel vaccines before my trip?
Get vaccinated 4-6 weeks before departure to allow immunity development. Some vaccines require multiple doses, so early booking is essential for complete protection.
Is the food intolerance test covered by NHS?
The food intolerance test is a private service costing £150. NHS allergy testing follows different protocols through specialist referral pathways.
Can I access physiotherapy without a GP referral?
Yes, our physiotherapy clinic offers direct access. Our therapists can assess your condition and recommend appropriate treatment without prior GP referral.
What weight loss medications do you prescribe?
We prescribe clinically-approved medications that control appetite and enhance metabolism. Suitability is assessed during initial consultations considering medical history and BMI criteria.
Are your NHS services available to everyone?
NHS services follow national eligibility criteria. Our pharmacists can advise on your qualification for free services or alternative private healthcare options.
