Common queries about our diagnostic service.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No, you do not need a referral to book a diagnostic blood test with us. However, we always recommend sharing your results with your GP for a formal diagnosis.
Is fasting required for allergy tests?
No, fasting is typically not required for IgE allergy blood testing. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment.
Can I take antihistamines before the test?
Yes. Unlike skin prick tests, blood tests for specific IgE antibodies are not affected by antihistamine medications.
How long does the appointment take?
Appointments are usually 15-20 minutes. Most of that time is for registration and sample collection; the phlebotomy itself takes only a few minutes.
When will I get my results?
Most results are processed and sent to you within 3 to 5 working days via a secure digital report.
