NHS Allergy Services

Allergy services throughout the UK vary, although there are several allergy clinics classed as centres of excellence.  In some areas services may be limited.  In these cases, you may be referred to other healthcare services that have a specialist interest in allergy, such as:

• Immunologists
• Ear nose and throat specialists
• Dermatologists
• Respiratory specialists
• Gastroenterologists
• Paediatricians

Allergy can be a complex condition.  Part of your ongoing treatment will often require that you are then managed by a dedicated team of people including:

• Allergy nurses
• Dieticians

A good allergy management plan is vital for all allergic conditions, and these people will help provide you with the tools to best manage your allergy.

The Allergy UK Helpline 01322 619898 can provide you with details of the nearest NHS clinic in your area.
