Allergy Testing
& Diagnosis
We offer comprehensive allergy testing and diagnosis to help identify the cause of your child’s allergic symptoms and create a tailored treatment plan. Our evidence-led approach ensures your child receives the most appropriate care, based on accurate and up-to-date testing.
What is allergy testing and diagnosis and how does it work?
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your child’s symptoms, medical history, and possible allergen exposures. This includes an in-depth review of seasonal patterns, food triggers, environmental factors, and any prior reactions. Based on this assessment, we recommend the most appropriate form of testing to investigate potential allergies.
​
Tests may include skin prick testing (placing tiny drops of allergen on the skin) and blood tests that measure specific IgE levels. These procedures are conducted in a calm, child-friendly setting and cause minimal discomfort. We combine test results with clinical findings to make an accurate diagnosis and avoid over-labelling or unnecessary restrictions.
​
Once the allergy is confirmed, we provide a tailored treatment plan that may include allergen avoidance strategies, medication optimisation, and if appropriate, immunotherapy options. Families are supported every step of the way, with clear guidance and follow-up to ensure effective long-term management of your child’s allergic condition.
Who is it suitable for?
This service is suitable for children with suspected allergic conditions, including eczema, asthma, hay fever, food allergy, or unexplained reactions.
What results to expect
A clear diagnosis brings peace of mind and allows for more effective symptom management. Many families feel empowered once they understand their child’s specific allergies and how to manage them.
​
With the right plan in place, children often experience a marked improvement in symptoms and overall wellbeing. Early diagnosis can also help prevent progression to more serious allergic conditions.
