An allergy blood test checks your blood for increased levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. The test can help detect allergies to foods, pets, pollen or other irritating substances. Antibodies are proteins your immune system produced in response to harmful substances such as viruses or bacteria. If you have an allergy, your body produces IgE in response to the allergen even if it’s harmless.
Key Benefits:
- Allergy testing will find the exact allergens that trigger allergic reactions
- Create a Manageable Diet
- Prevent Severe Consequences
- Determine If Your Allergy Has Been Outgrown

Travellers to areas at risk may be recommended a single injection, which also covers against Diphtheria and Polio.
Ear Wax£80
The ear canal is lined with hair follicles. The ear canal also has glands that produce a waxy oil called cerumen. The wax will most often make its way to the opening of the ear. There it will fall out or be removed by washing.

The initial injection will offer short-term protection for a single trip, while a booster will provide long-term cover and should preferably be taken within 6-12 months of the first vaccine.
Hepatitis B £50
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that is spread through infected blood or bodily fluids. It can lead to severe liver problems and is often fatal. Hepatitis B is 100 times more infectious than HIV.
Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable disease. The vaccine is a course of three injections, which are given rapidly over a one-month course or over a standard six month course.
Japanese encephalitis £105
Japanese encephalitis is a viral brain infection that's spread through mosquito bites.
