Quick answers to questions you may have

Is the allergy test painful?

The test involves a standard blood draw, similar to what you would experience at your GP’s office. Our trained phlebotomists are experts at making the process as quick and comfortable as possible.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No, you do not need a GP referral to book an allergen test with us. You can contact us directly to schedule your appointment.

How long does it take to get the results?

Typically, results are available within 7-10 working days after your sample reaches the laboratory. We will contact you as soon as your report is ready to arrange a follow-up consultation.

What is the difference between an allergy and an intolerance?

An allergy involves an immune system reaction and can cause symptoms like hives, swelling, or breathing difficulties. An intolerance, such as lactose intolerance, involves the digestive system and typically causes bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort. Our team can help you understand the difference and choose the right test.

Is allergen testing suitable for children?

Yes, we can provide allergen testing for children. Please contact our clinic to discuss the specific requirements and process for younger clients.
