Private Allergy Testing Service

Our bodies can react to foods that we eat and substances in the environment. These are called allergens. In most people, these allergens are harmless but if you are allergic to them, your immune system will overreact and produce symptoms. This allergic reaction can make you feel unwell, or manifest unpleasant symptoms like runny eyes, itching or swelling, as well as digestive problems and - in more severe cases - anaphylaxis.

Here at Fylde Private GP, we offer a range of allergy testing panels covering food, inhalants, animal dander, mould and insects, so that you have that peace of mind and knowledge to make the right calls when it comes to your well-being or the well-being of someone else in your care. Please see the individual allergy panels for details of each allergy test. These tests can be booked directly with a member of the nursing team. You will attend the clinic to have your blood test and you will receive your results via email or by post as soon as they are available.

Alternatively, we offer a £50, 15-minute consultation with a GP who will discuss your symptoms and help to choose the appropriate test. We will take the blood test and you will receive your results via email or by post as soon as they are available. Once you have received your results, you will have the opportunity to book a further chargeable appointment (either face to face or via video or phone) with the GP to discuss your results in detail and any necessary treatment plan. Please refer to our pricing for these appointment types.

Important Note: Our allergy testing is conducted through a straightforward blood test. This test detects allergens in your system and will only yield a positive result if the specific food or allergen is present in your body at the time of testing. If you have been avoiding certain foods or triggers, there is a significant possibility that the test results may appear negative, even if you have a sensitivity or allergy to them.
