We are very pleased to announce that our latest research study is opening, The SPDLife COVID MEMORY STUDY. We will be working with experts who study the health of older people. The study team at Healthfirst Consulting Limited is looking for volunteers to take part in a trial, aged between 65 and 90 years of age. The study involves taking a daily food supplement made from wheatgerm and four visits to Healthfirst Consulting clinic over the course of 9 months. We will be looking to see if the food supplement improves the immune response to the Coronavirus after having COVID vaccines and if people stay immune to Coronavirus for longer when supplements are taken.

Volunteers will be eligible for expenses and reimbursement for their time if taking part in the study. You can contact us via email: researchcentre@healthfirstconsulting.co.uk or telephone 0845 8684480.

We are delighted to be able to offer our discrete testing services and treatments as we start to emerge from the National lockdown due to Coronavirus. We have taken special measures to protect you from Coronavirus, to keep you safe and reassured. We look forward to welcoming you to our COVID secure clinic.

We are so excited to start our household / family Coronavirus study this week with Oxford University. We will be studying the immune response of families who had a member(s) of their household have a positive Coronavirus test more than 1 month ago.

Sunday 1st December 2019 is World Aids Day. A day to remember those lost and to raise awareness of the huge progress that has been made in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HIV infection!

HIV treated with medication is not life-threatening. People living with HIV which is controlled on medication will have normal life expectancy. If virus levels are undetectable they also can’t pass it on.

HIV tests are great, as the sooner HIV is detected and treated the better. Why not consider getting tested yourself this year?

Did you know that there is a connection between untreated STI and infertility and complications during pregnancy and childbirth? If you are planning a family or are pregnant and think you may be at risk of a STI, it’s a good idea to get yourself tested.

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK.

It’s passed on through unprotected sex (sex without a condom) and is particularly common. If you live in the UK,  it’s recommended that you get tested for chlamydia if you’ve had unprotected sex.

Are you considering pregnancy or IVF? Did you know that Sexually transmitted infections can adversely affect you and your baby? There are eight STIs that can affect neonates. Not all of these are tested for in antenatal NHS care. We can provide discrete testing with rapid results and hope this promoted your health and your baby’s health.

Did you know Syphilis can affect your whole body and result in blindness? However, often syphilis has few symptoms and you can be infected without knowing. The infection also passes to an unborn baby. Syphilis tests are simple to do and not costly. Read more at www.theprivatesticlinic.co.uk
