Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common condition which is treated using different modalities, including immunotherapy. The aim of this study was to survey the current management strategies among ENT consultants in the UK in treating AR, and their views on immunotherapy. The study design was a postal questionnaire survey and the setting a university teaching hospital. Participants were consultant members of the British Association of Otolaryngologists - Head and Neck Surgeons (BAO-HNS). The main outcome measures were common treatment modalities adopted by the survey group to treat AR, and the number of consultants practising immunotherapy. The majority (81.1 per cent) of the consultants surveyed practise medical therapy with or without surgery. Immunotherapy is advised by 26 per cent of ENT consultants, but only 6.6 per cent currently administer immunotherapy.
