- LONDON, April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergy UK is today urging government to heed its call to introduce specialist allergy nurses and dietitians to GP services.
- The UK is one of the top three countries in the world with the highest incidence of allergy.
- With allergy service provision still seemingly undefined by the majority of NHS England ICBs, Allergy UK is calling for each ICS in England to introduce an allergy nurse and dietitian at primary care level.
- Its prevalence in society is growing and our healthcare system is inadequately addressing the issue of allergy because there isn't enough specialist allergy knowledge at a GP level.
