An overview, highlighting my interest in Allergy

Dr Adrian Morris was an NHS General Practitioner Principal in Surrey with a special interest in Allergic Disorders. He has been in clinical General Practice for 23 years and has 16 years of allergy experience.

Adrian currently works part-time as a Clinical Assistant in Allergy and Respiratory Medicine in the NHS Allergy Clinic  at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London. He is a Member of the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) and the European Academy for Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) as well as being an International Affiliate Member of the American College for Allergy Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). Over the years, Adrian has set up several allergy clinics in private hospitals and clinics in London and Surrey and is an Allergy Consultant to the BBC Online Health internet website, Boots Pharmacies (UK) and the UCB Institute of Allergy in Belgium.  He was also involved with providing evidence to the United Kingdom Parliamentary Health Committee on the Provision of Allergy Services in 2004.  In early 2005, Adrian was invited by the prestigious World Allergy Organisation (WAO) to become a Member at Large and participate on the WAO website editorial board.

Allergy is a fascinating area of clinical medicine, which involves everything from complicated immunology and exciting new allergen research to practical aspects of day to day allergy management including allergen avoidance and desensitisation. Adrian has an interest in many aspects of allergy practice including Asthma, Anaphylaxis,Allergic Rhinitis, Hay fever, Eczema, Urticaria, Insect Sting Allergy and Allergy to Medication. His area of special interest is that of Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis, an area of great public health concern.

Adrian has written a number of review articles and booklets on allergy, explored the role of complementary medicine, developed patient education aids and attended a number of international allergy congresses.  He has participated in radio discussions, public and professional presentations on allergy and has a special interest in developing allergy websites and patient educational material.  Adrian is a regular speaker at The Allergy Show which takes place annually in June at Olympia in London.

He holds a Diploma in Allergology from the College of Medicine of South Africa and occasionally conducts allergy clinics and clinical drug trials in Cape Town and was a part-time Consultant at the University of Cape Town Lung Institute and Red Cross Children's Hospital. For many years, Adrian was also involved with the Allergy Society of South Africa as Treasurer and an Executive Committee member.  He is on the editorial board of the medical journal Current Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

In 2002 he was awarded the Media Award by the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology for the Best Lay Media Publication on Allergy for his work on the BBC Health Allergy Website.  In June 2005, 2006 and again in 2007, the prestigious Tatler magazine named Adrian as one of "Tatler's best 250 private doctors in Britain".
