Do parents need to be present at the allergy testing of a 15 year old in the UK?

I'm 15 years old and I have an allergy test on Wednesday morning. I've tried phoning but the doctor is semi-retired and I can't get hold of him. I need to know whether my mother needs to be present at my allergy test, because frankly she can't be arsed. It's either going to be a patch test or a prick test, and I'd rather she wasn't there anyway-but they might not do the test if a parent isn't there.

Anyone working in the medical profession or anything that might give them an idea? Thanks in advance.
 
I don't think your parents need to be there, I'm 15 and we have a doctor at school who can do anything the normal doctor can do and you don't need your parents there. You could always take a note from your mum?
