Assessment of immediate allergic sensitisation.
Before your appointment
Tell the clinic about antihistamines, previous severe reactions and asthma. Only change medicines according to its instructions.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- Testing includes application, an observation interval and clinical interpretation.
- Hospital stay
- Usually outpatient, without an overnight stay for the test itself. Preparation or additional tests may extend attendance.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan one attendance for the test and a results discussion. The referral assessment and any repeat or additional tests may require separate visits; ask whether results can be discussed remotely.
- Recovery and travel planning
- A positive test shows sensitisation, not necessarily clinical allergy. The specialist interprets it with symptoms and plans avoidance or further testing if needed.
