Skin Prick Test to Detect Allergic Reaction At Private Blood Tests London, we are now providing private allergy testing in London for children and adults. We use the Skin Prick Testing (SPT) method along side ISAC blood testing in the UK for a fully comprehensive service to diagnose environmental, inhalant and food allergies. Prick-to-Prick skin test procedure involves bring allergen samples to your appointment, following which a small skin prick of the allergen is conducted by our Consultant Immunologist, detecting any reaction you may have. This method allows for screening of very specific or obscure allergens – simply bring it with you. The allergy testing can be only conducted by our Consultant Immunologist – Dr Pereira, an extremely experienced NHS and private consultant on the Specialist Register of the GMC.
