ALK, NHS trusts:
The project will be delivered on behalf of ALK by IQVIA Technology services Ltd |
| Project Rational |
The management of allergy patients across primary and specialised care is not uniformly implemented. There is variation in diagnostic and treatment practice across the UK. Evidence of clinical practice suggests that patients with severe allergy often undergo tests that do not support their disease needs prior to an allergy specialist referral, and patients that could benefit from innovative disease modifying treatments such as allergen immunotherapy wait excess time until the right technology is prescribed to them.
|
| Project Period | Commencing Q4 2022 |
| Project Objectives/Overview |
Review the Allergy Pathway at NHS Trust level (3 paediatric services and 3 adult services): to map the existing patient pathway, identify immediate opportunities to improve the current pathway. Identify barriers to further optimization of the pathway and understand potential solutions to overcome those barriers.
Key themes identified within the individual allergy services, will be discussed with members of a steering committee comprising of representatives of partner NHS trusts and relevant national allergy stakeholders.

(iii) ALK – opportunity to work with allergy service providers to learn and understand current pathway challenges and support potential pathway improvement opportunities to improve their services. |
