For any person aged over 6 a blood test will be required before administering the BCG Vaccine to check for exposure to TB or previous vaccination.
The patient will need to be contacted after a week for blood test results which will determine need for BCG Vaccine.
The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis, which is also known as TB.
TB is a serious infection which affects the lungs and sometimes other parts of the body such as the bones, joints and kidneys. It can also cause meningitis.
BCG vaccination is rarely given to anyone over the age of 16 – and never over the age of 35, because it doesn’t work very well in adults. It is, however, given to adults aged between 16 and 35 who are at risk of TB through their work, such as some healthcare workers.
Chickenpox is a common childhood infection. Usually, it’s mild and complications are rare. Almost all children develop immunity to chickenpox after infection, so most only catch it once. The disease can be more severe in adults. A patient may get a mild form of chicken pox within 6 week of vaccine.
Certain groups of people, however, are at greater risk of serious complications from chickenpox. These include:
People who have weakened immune systems through illnesses such as HIV, or treatments like chemotherapy
Pregnant women
Chickenpox can be very serious for an unborn baby when a pregnant woman catches the infection. It can cause a range of serious birth defects, as well as severe disease in the baby when it is born. Read more about what to do if you catch or are exposed to chicken pox in pregnancy.
Diphtheria is a bacterial disease spread mainly by exhaled water droplets and occasionally through infected skin lesions. It can be fatal if left untreated. Travelers are at risk when mixing closely with the local population in most developing countries. If they are likely to be at risk, travelers should ensure they have had a Diphtheria vaccine within the last 10 years.
The bacteria that causes Tetanus is present in soil worldwide and disease occurs when the bacteria gets into a wound or even small cut. The disease leads to uncontrollable muscle spasms and possibly death. Travelers should ensure they have had a Tetanus vaccine within the last 10 years before they travel.
Polio is a disease of the central nervous system usually spread through contaminated food and water. Many countries have eradicated Polio through vaccination although it still exists in some African and Asian countries and cases continue to occur worldwide.
The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the name given to a family of viruses.
Different types of HPV are classed as either high risk or low risk, depending on the conditions they can cause. For instance, some types of HPV can cause warts or verrucas. Other types are associated with cervical cancer.
In 99% of cases, cervical cancer occurs as a result of a history of infection with high-risk types of HPV. Often, infection with the HPV causes no symptoms.
Please note: we currently are unable to stock the influenza vaccine. We are trying our hardest to do so. For up to date information please call the practice.
The flu is a contagious virus spread by coughs and sneezes. Symptoms start suddenly and can be severe, including: fever of 38C (100.4F) or above, tiredness and weakness which may last for several weeks, headache, general aches and pains, dry, chesty cough, blocked or runny nose, sneezing, and sore throat.
Flu can make you feel very exhausted and unwell, meaning that you may need to stay in bed and rest until you feel better.
If otherwise fit and healthy, you may not be eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine. You may, however, still find it a useful option to receive the vaccine privately if you wish to significantly reduce your chances of catching flu, if you work/commute with many people or if you feel you could not afford the time needed to recover.
The Men B vaccine will protect your baby against infection by meningococcal group B bacteria, which are responsible for more than 90% of meningococcal infections in young children.
Meningococcal infections can be very serious, causing meningitis and septicemia (blood poisoning), which can lead to severe brain damage, amputations and in some cases death.
Meningitis and septicemia caused by meningococcal group B bacteria can affect people of any age, but is most common in babies and young children.
The Meningitis B vaccine will protect your baby against infection by meningococcal group B bacteria, which are responsible for more than 90% of meningococcal infections in young children.

The pneumococcal vaccine (or ‘pneumo jab’ or pneumonia vaccine as it’s also known) protects against pneumococcal infections.
Pneumococcal infections are caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae and can lead to pneumonia, septicaemia (a kind of blood poisoning) and meningitis.
More than 90 different strains of the pneumococcal bacterium have been identified, though only between eight and 10 of them cause the most serious infections.
This is a lung condition which can lead to serious commercial and health implications and even fatality.
We know that having other health conditions can make an individual more vulnerable and the NHS offers the vaccination for these individuals. However, pneumonia can occur at any age.
This is a live vaccine which contains a weakened form of the chickenpox virus. Only one dose is needed to significantly reduce your chances of developing shingles. Even if you do go on to develop shingles at some point later, your symptoms are likely to be milder and the illness shorter.
The shingles vaccination also works very well even in people who have had shingles before as it boosts immunity against further shingles attacks. The vaccine is considered to be very safe with few side effects. Very occasionally people may develop a chickenpox-like illness following the shingles vaccination – this occurs in fewer than 1 in 10,000 people.
The Levitas Group offers both Clinical and Dental memberships for its patients, allowing access to GP or Dental appointments 7 days a week and also giving a 10% discount on selected services within the practice.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ I’ve been a member for over ten years and the service has been first class.

The staff here are the epitome of friendliness, greeting every patient with a smile that instantly puts you at ease. It's clear that this is more than just a job for them; they truly care about the well-being of everyone who walks through their doors.In my experience, the doctors at Levitas Clinic are unparalleled in their expertise and knowledge. Each consultation is thorough, with doctors taking the time to understand my concerns and provide comprehensive advice and treatment. They don't just treat symptoms; they look at the whole picture, ensuring that you leave feeling better not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.A special mention must be made of Seema, whose lovely demeanour is a highlight of the Levitas experience. She embodies the clinic's ethos of compassionate care, making each patient feel valued and heard. Her approach is not just professional but also deeply empathetic, making each visit a truly comforting experience.Lastly, the little things matter too. The waiting area is a calm oasis (with a fish tank to rival the Maldives), and the coffee is always fresh, ensuring that the short wait is as pleasant as the treatment. It's rare to find a place that makes medical visits something to look forward to, but Levitas Clinic does just that.In summary, if you're seeking medical care that goes above and beyond, Levitas Clinic is the place to go. Their combination of professional expertise, genuine care, and a comfortable environment makes every visit a positively memorable one. ★★★★★ Super care, attentive and available when you need. ★★★★★ ★★★★★ I cannot recommend the team at the Levitas clinic highly enough; their skill and friendly professionalism is first class. They care and it shows. ★★★★★ I have been a patient at the Levitas clinics from the early days and cannot fault their warm and welcome professionalism and their holistic approach. They all treat me as an individual and nothing seems to be too much trouble. I see them for everything medically related now. The BHRT (bioidentical hormones) treatment regime has been miraculous for my general well-being and has taken the edge off the more unwelcome aspects of the menopause for me and I am extremely pleased to be able to have a routine tailored to my body rather than a one style suits all treatment. Friends of a certain age (this includes male too) who have also had it are similarly delighted and we all get chase ups from them for regular follow ups and ongoing treatment appraisal and adjustments. My friends comment on how good I look, hence them wanting to give it a go; my hairdresser of nearly 30 years has said my thinning hair has improved and my beautician of 15+ years still tells me I have a lovely skin tone!I have also had success with the sound vibration treatment on arthritic joint pain.I am happy I found them and, although its a drive for me, I have always had a good choice of parking spaces - another big plus. ★★★★★ All the staff always go above and beyond with their care and time. I feel they have got to know us as a family and provide all round care for us with incredible understanding and guidance. We are very grateful for them! ★★★★★ Excellent experience with all the doctors here. They take as much time with you and don’t mind going through multiple concerns and problems in one appointment. Very thoughtful and professional too. ★★★★★ I recently underwent a medical treatment, and I am pleased to share my positive experience. The healthcare professionals were exceptionally knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the process. The facility was well-maintained, and the staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism and compassion. I appreciate the personalized care I received, making the entire treatment journey smoother. Overall, it was a reassuring and effective medical experience that exceeded my expectations. ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Staff are always so friendly and helpful. Thank you for being so caring and gentle towards my little one and to me a very sleep deprived/worried mum. ★★★★★ Perfect appointment, diagnosis and meds all within 15 mins.

The PLT team could not have done more for me. They were so helpful and answered all my questions with such detail and confidence. Could not recommend this place more ★★★★★ Great service, great staff, the receptionists are simply lovely! ★★★★★ My family have been members for 3 years at the Levitas Guildford clinic and the care we receive is fantastic.They go out of their way to tailor their care to the needs of their patients and take into account any additional needs they may have. On many occasions they have gone above and beyond with their care especially for my daughter. We would actually be lost without them! We are so grateful for everything they do and would highly recommend them to others.All of the staff are warm and welcoming and we want to say an extra thank you in particular to Dr Kapoor, Seema, Dr Scott, Dr Graham, Victoria and Amy, your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed ⭐️ ★★★★★ I received incredible service from the whole team.

Thankfully, the whole experience was painless and I had nothing to worry about - the dental staff at this clinic are amazing! ★★★★★ I went to get my teeth cleaned with Idalina - the dental hygienist at Levitas clinic. She was super friendly, but best of all she did the best job with my teeth with no discomfort at all. I don’t think my teeth have been cleaned so well ever. I also booked the airflow treatment which I highly recommend, all stains gone and they are definitely brighter than before. It’s great having such clean teeth! ★★★★★ Very positive experience at Levitas. I was seen the day after and everything was very quick and efficient. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly too ★★★★★ My wife and I have been visiting The Mews Dental Practice since we moved to Guildford in 2022 for our annual dental clean and check. On both occasions, the staff were very professional, caring and friendly. They answered any concerns or questions we had and gave out sound recommendations for preventive dental care. The clinic was very clean. Special mention to Lauren, Pujan Rai and Khaled Elgamaz for their outstanding patient care and painless dental cleaning. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable and friendly service. ★★★★★ Recently I have been seeing dentists at the Mews Practice. They are all highly professional and very caring. I was very scared to have my wisdom tooth taken out. But dentist made me feel relaxed and after few minutes tooth was on my hand without any discomfort. It was an amazing experience.The staff is Very friendly. ★★★★★ Hello, i went here for an dental appointment, and had a really nice experience. everyone was really nice and friendly.

I definitely recommend this treatment and the clinic. I will definitely be visiting the Mews again!! ★★★★★ It’s not Martin but his wife writing this but he totally agrees how fabulous The Mews Practice is. For me especially, Dr Caitlin Scott has changed my life with my new hrt medications. She is incredibly in depth and so knowledgable.
