Allergy Testing
If you are suffering from allergies then why not check out Allergy UK for more information
​We currently offer allergy tests for those looking for a bit more information on possible allergens, via an ALEX IgE Test.
However, we​ advise those who believe they are suffering from a serious allergy to contact their doctor for further investigations. The diagnosis of allergic disease is mostly made on clinical grounds supported by a detailed history and the outcome of skin tests, however laboratory investigations are a useful tool in the diagnosis and management of allergic diseases and can be very helpful in the assessment of disease activity
​​
Tests are offered from the pharmacy as a private service, this involves a blood sample being taken via a finger prick and sent to a laboratory for testing.
