Allergy and Immunology (Clinical and Laboratory) Jobs
Clinical Immunology/Allergy Specialists or physicians work with patients who are experiencing autoimmune disease, such as Coeliac and Hashimoto’s disease, immune deficiencies, such as primary immunodeficiency (PID) disorders, or allergic reactions, such as hives, rashes, wheezing, anaphylaxis, and hay fever. They specialise in assessing and managing patients in inpatient and outpatient settings. They provide acute care, coordinated specialist care (across other medical specialties, such as rheumatology, infectious diseases, paediatrics, respiratory medicine, dermatology, or haematology), and/or long-term management of conditions, which involves prevention plans, education, therapies and medication. They provide consultation and expert opinion to assist primary care providers. In the laboratory, ACLI physicians are responsible for leading and managing immunological laboratory services. They are trained in specific laboratory capabilities, and can provide diagnostic services for immune-mediated diseases across medical specialties and primary care. Immunology and Allergy Physicians work in community and private practices, hospitals, research institutions, and/or diagnostic pathology laboratories. They have completed over 7 years of clinical practice, training and exams and have attained a CCT in Allergy and Immunology and specialist registration with the GMC. To pursue a career in this medical and scientific field, registered Doctors who have completed Foundation and Core Training (IMT (2 years) or ACCS-IM (3 years) or Paediatric level 1 (3 years)), can apply to undertake JRCPTB training in either Allergy and Clinical Immunology, or Allergy, Clinical and Laboratory Immunology.
