Allergy Consultant

This exciting new post in Adult Allergy will involve the postholder working alongside the existing team Steve Jenkins (Respiratory Consultant) and Kathryn Powrie (Allergy nurse specialist). The Allergy service at Broomfield has developed over time and now takes referrals from a catchment area of 1.2 million across Mid and South Essex. It is hoped that the expanded capacity as a result of this new post will allow the team to take referrals from a wider catchment area. The team offers a wide range of services including subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy, food and drug challenge testing, and biologic administration for urticaria and severe asthma. The allergy department at Broomfield in is the process of applying for registration with the IQAS (Improving Quality in Allergy Services). There is a strong focus on governance, patient safety and patient experience. The allergy team sits within the wider department of Respiratory medicine which provides mutual and administrative support.
