What happens at BPNW's Clinic?

• When you arrive one of our experienced team will welcome you

• We discuss the whole process for the test so you know what is going to happen

• We ask you to sign a consent form so that we know you understand everything and we accept the consent

• We make a  finger prick test to get a drop of blood from your finger and making of the test part is over.

• We wait 60 seconds for a result. You can watch the reaction occur.  We give you your results there and then.
