Inequalities in Access to Specialist Allergy Services in the United Kingdom: A Report From the <scp>BSACI</scp> Registry for Immunotherapy ( <scp>BRIT</scp> )

We have described disparities and unwarranted variation in the provision of treatment around the UK. The data suggest that there is limited access to immunotherapy in the devolved nations. Access is also reduced by socioeconomic deprivation. White participants were more likely to receive a direct referral from primary care than those from other ethnic groups whose referral pathways were more complex. Registry data are limited by participant enrolment and may have selection bias. Nevertheless, BRIT has highlighted inequity in access to specialist allergy services in the UK.

Abstract

We have described disparities and unwarranted variation in the provision of treatment around the UK. The data suggest that there is limited access to immunotherapy in the devolved nations. Access is also reduced by socioeconomic deprivation. White participants were more likely to receive a direct referral from primary care than those from other ethnic groups whose referral pathways were more complex. Registry data are limited by participant enrolment and may have selection bias. Nevertheless, BRIT has highlighted inequity in access to specialist allergy services in the UK.
