Allergy clinic

Allergies can cause symptoms ranging from hay fever and eczema to asthma and, in rare cases, anaphylaxis. Our GPs provide assessment and testing to help identify your triggers and create a practical management plan.

What we offer:

  • Clinical assessment: medical history, symptom review and examination.

  • Testing: skin prick testing (where available) and/or specific IgE blood tests for common allergens such as pollens, dust mites, animal dander, moulds and foods. Patch testing for suspected contact dermatitis may be arranged.

  • Management: personalised avoidance strategies, medication plans (e.g. antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids), and Anaphylaxis/ASCIA action plans where appropriate, including adrenaline auto-injector prescriptions.

  • Referral: when needed, we coordinate referral to specialist allergy services for oral food challenges or complex cases.

What to expect:
Your GP will discuss the most suitable tests for your symptoms, explain results, and work with you on a step-by-step plan to reduce flares and improve quality of life.
