Complete Allergy Profile, Explained

Suited to people with persistent symptoms who have already tried narrower testing, or who would rather look broadly once than repeatedly in stages.

A panel this wide will always return some raised readings that turn out not to matter in daily life. Interpreting it properly against your actual symptoms is the whole point of the follow-up appointment.

Why People Choose Complete Allergy Profile

Quick appointment

The sample takes a few minutes. You do not need to stop antihistamines beforehand unless we tell you otherwise.

Reviewed with you

A pharmacist goes through the report with you and explains what the readings do and do not tell you.

Private and unhurried

Seen in a private consultation room, with time to ask questions.

Sensible next steps

If your results point towards something that needs a GP or a dietitian, we will say so and help you get there.
