Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood, Essex, offers private allergy tests for adults and children. We offer skin prick testing and RAST blood testing. Our allergy nurse will advise which test is most suitable for you.
Allergies are the body’s adverse reaction to substances in our everyday environment. These reactions can be caused by a wide range of things including pollen, dust and certain foods. Common allergic reactions include hayfever, asthma and skin abnormalities.
