Your duties will include assessing patients with suspected or confirmed allergic conditions, developing management plans, interpreting appropriate diagnostic investigations and contributing to multidisciplinary care. Following appropriate training and competency assessment, there may also be opportunities to support supervised allergy challenges and desensitisation procedures.

You will be encouraged to participate in clinical governance, audit, service improvement and departmental teaching, as well as contributing to the continued development of the regional Allergy service.
