Hello
This week we are running a Q&A with Sense About Science about allergies. Sense About Science have just released a new guide which aims to make sense of the causes, diagnosis and treatments.
The guide tackles topics ranging from whether allergies are becoming more common to how to get an accurate diagnosis to allergies that can come and go.
Here’s an opportunity to hear more about the facts from a panel of experts arranged by Sense About Science.
The experts answering the Q&A will be:
Dr Paul Seddon, a Consultant Respiratory Paediatrician at the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton. His research interests include lung function measurement in infants and preschool children, wheezing disease and asthma in early life.
Dr Adam Fox is a Consultant Paediatric Allergist at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals Foundation Trust in London, the UK’s largest specialist allergy service. His clinical role involves the management of children with food allergies, asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis as well as children with difficult eczema where food allergy plays a role.
Dr Tariq El-Shanawany is a Consultant Clinical Immunologist. His interests are in anaphylaxis and the implementation of new laboratory techniques to improve the diagnosis of allergy.
Dr Samantha Walker is Deputy Chief Executive and Executive Director for Research & Policy at Asthma UK. Her research interests include the mechanisms of allergic inflammation, the impact of allergen immunotherapy on clinical and immunological outcomes and the impact and management of allergic rhinitis.
Please post your questions on this thread until Sunday 14 June. Our expert panel will have answers ready on Monday 22 June and we’ll post them here.
Thanks
