Where To Go To Get Tested

Similar to the previous poster - my wife has a number of allergies, some we know like hayfever but some we can't seem to pin down. How and where can she go to get tested? Is it simply a case of demanding from your GP or is there a better more sane route to go down?
Any advice please

Hello.
I am so sorry to hear about your wife problems!
For hayfever you may want to see an immunologist to have prick testing. If you have dermatitis (eczema) - scaly itchy rash preferentially in skin fold areas - see a dermatology consultant to have patch testing.
I hope this is helpful.
