Spring & Summer Health Checks: Preparing You and Your Family

As we move into spring and summer, many families begin preparing for travel, outdoor activities, and summer camps—particularly in the United States.

This often involves medical forms, vaccination checks, and last-minute health concerns.

At Mews Medical, we provide private GP appointments in Kensington and Marylebone to help you organise everything efficiently—without the usual stress.

Summer Camp Medicals (US Camp Forms Completed in London)

Many US summer camps require a pre-participation medical examination and completion of official health forms by a doctor.

These typically include:

• Full medical history review

• Physical examination

• Immunisation verification

• Assessment of any medical conditions

• Completion of camp-specific documentation

  
  

These forms are often detailed and time-sensitive. We offer dedicated summer camp medical appointments in London, ensuring forms are completed accurately and on time.

Vaccination Checks for Travel & Camp Requirements

Vaccination requirements for US camps may differ slightly from UK schedules.

We commonly review and update:

• MMR vaccine

• Varicella vaccine

• Tetanus vaccine

• Meningococcal vaccines

• 
  

We provide vaccination reviews, catch-up schedules, and travel vaccines, helping you avoid delays close to departure.

Hay Fever & Seasonal Allergy Treatment

Spring and summer bring a rise in hay fever and seasonal allergies, which can significantly affect sleep, concentration, and energy levels.

Common symptoms:

• Sneezing and congestion

• Itchy or watery eyes

• Poor sleep and fatigue
  

Effective treatment often requires a structured approach:

• Non-sedating antihistamines

• Nasal steroid sprays (used correctly)

• Antihistamine eye drops

• Prescription treatments for more severe symptoms
  

If symptoms are impacting daily life, a tailored treatment plan can make a significant difference.

Travel Health Advice for Families

If you’re travelling this summer—particularly long-haul—advance planning helps avoid unnecessary issues.

We can advise on:

• Travel vaccinations

• Managing existing medical conditions abroad

• Jet lag strategies for adults and children

• Personalised travel medication packs
  

For families travelling to the US, we also recommend:

• Carrying a summary of medical conditions

• Ensuring adequate travel insurance

• Checking medication availability overseas

Skin Health & Sun Exposure

With increased sun exposure during spring and summer, it’s important to protect your skin.

Key advice:

• Use daily SPF (even in the UK)

• Monitor moles for changes

• Take extra care with children’s skin

• Seek review for any new or changing lesions
  

We offer skin checks and GP assessments if you have any concerns.
