It’s important to get a clear diagnosis with a suspected food allergy and get advice on the risks and severity of future reactions. Some children should carry adrenaline injectors to protect them and this requires a clinical risk assessment as well as advice and training for families. Many children grow out of their food allergies as they get older and regular allergy checks can tell when this is happening. We recommend that children are rechecked when they change or leave schools.

You don't need a GP referral, contact us directly.

Testimonials

Allergy Healthcare
"Mich & Caz offer an outstanding allergy service. Mich has looked after our daughter's nut allergy for several years and we have every confidence in him. Our ten year old daughter, whilst not a great fan of drs/nurses/hospitals, is a big fan of Mich.
We recently took our son for allergy screening with Caz, and it was a pleasure from start to finish.

I am a nurse specialist myself, and I thoroughly recommend Allergy Healthcare. A kind, caring and exemplary allergy service."
