The Allergy service at HEFT recently achieved full registered status with the national IQAS scheme. IQAS (Improving Quality in Allergy Services) was launched by the Royal College of Physicians in 2012 as a first step towards accreditation of Allergy services. Commenting on the HEFT application, the assessor described it as a “first rate comprehensive service”.  A full inspection of the Allergy service is expected by the end of 2013.
