The incidence of allergic disease is increasing, with one in three people now reported as having some kind of allergy. Allergy support groups are working to raise awareness of this increase and also to highlight the inadequacies in NHS allergy management services. This has implications for nursing practice, as nurses are involved in identification and documentation of patients' allergies as well as in the management of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis.
