Primary Care Show 2026

Allergic disease in older adults is often under-recognised, misdiagnosed, or attributed to comorbidities and ageing. This session will explore the unique presentation of allergy in this population, including late-onset reactions, medication-related triggers, and the impact of polypharmacy. With a focus on real-world primary care practice, it will highlight common diagnostic challenges, practical management strategies, and when to refer. Attendees will gain confidence in identifying and managing allergy in older patients while avoiding common pitfalls.
