How Our Tests Work
We offer both skin-prick testing and specific IgE blood tests depending on your symptoms and medical history. The process begins with a short consultation to choose the best test. Skin-prick testing gives rapid results and is ideal for many environmental and food allergens, while blood tests suit those taking certain medications or with skin conditions. After testing, pharmacists explain findings clearly and provide a personalised action plan, including avoidance advice, over-the-counter relief, and when to seek specialist care. Tests are conducted in a safe, hygienic setting by trained staff.
Clear results and practical advice
Interpretation and Next Steps
Results are explained in plain language and include practical next steps for managing symptoms and reducing exposure to triggers. We can advise on antihistamines, nasal sprays, and emergency plans for severe allergies.
