The Immunology & Allergy Nurses Group has 244 members across the UK and Republic of Ireland. The Group Annual Conference is held in May with all centres being given the opportunity to host the Conference.

This year's conference held in Lincoln had a varied programme and covered clinical topics such as bronchiectasis and allergic eye disease as well as non-clinical topics such as Accreditation and a series of workshops covering many aspects of practice. Next year we are due to hold the Conference in Liverpool.

The group also has an email network, enabling quick responses to members' questions from centres across the UK and ROI. An exciting new development this year has been the IANG website which includes news, information and links related to the Group.

The group is open to Registered Nurses currently practicing in the field of Immunology and/or Allergy. Prospective new members can apply to the Treasurer in the first instance, Sheena Hopkins - [email protected]
