Features - 'Little Progress' in Allergy Treatment in the UK

A recent report by two Royal Colleges and allergy doctors say that people suffering from allergies in the UK are being denied specialist medical help due to a shortage of specialist doctors and increased pressure on services. The authors of the report from a working party of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists believe that not much has improved since a similar report three years ago.

It has been acknowledged that the years of plenty in the NHS are over - and experts say much could be achieved by better leadership and getting doctors from different disciplines to work together. Many GP's still do not know enough about allergies, and pharmacists often use inappropriate tests on patients.
