Allergy Testing
If you are suffering from allergies then why not check out:
We offer two types of allergy tests for those looking for a bit more information on possible allergens
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
We want to increase access to these services and provide more choices for our patients
Both our 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.
Results are then emailed normally within seven days and an outcome report issued, see the example reports below
The ALEX test is an IgE test which is the most comprehensive available and is used and recommended by the NHS and private allergy consultants. This is the only test that is available in this format outside of a professional allergy setting.

The FOX test is an IgG test and could be useful in supporting to identify intolerances, it is often used by dieticians
