Allergies have a significant impact on quality of life and adolescents are over represented in significant and fatal reactions. Associated asthma increases the risk of a fatal reaction. Provision of allergy services within adult medicine can be limited and there is often no clear structure for transitioning patients from paediatric to adult practice leaving a high risk population with inadequate provision.
