Travel Clinic
Our Travel Clinic provides comprehensive travel health services including vaccinations, malaria prevention, and health advice for international travel. Experienced pharmacists offer personalised risk assessments and administer required vaccines. We follow latest NHS and WHO guidelines to ensure safe global travel with proper immunisation coverage.
Ear Wax Removal
Professional ear wax removal using microsuction technology offers safe, effective relief from wax build-up. This water-free method uses gentle suction to clear blockages, improving hearing and comfort. Our trained pharmacists perform this procedure with specialist equipment, ensuring patient safety and immediate results.

We offer NHS-funded services with private consultations, providing comprehensive information about suitability, effectiveness, and proper usage of various contraceptive methods.

Results are interpreted by qualified professionals with appropriate follow-up recommendations for maintaining optimal health.
