About

I was the first National Trainee in Allergy in the UK and completed my specialist training at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust in 2006. At the end of my training, I was awarded a Clinical Research Fellowship by the Medical Research Council to read for a PhD at King's College London. I started work as clinical lead in adult allergy at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (St Mary's) in May 2010. St Mary's is the oldest allergy clinic in the UK and is famous worldwide as the home of allergen immunotherapy.

When I am seeing patients in the allergy clinic, the ability to transform lives often in the space of a single visit is one of the reasons I love my work. A lack of information helps no one. I have seen patients who have suffered unnecessarily with out of control allergies for years and others who have thought they are allergic to something, only to find that they are not. Hay fever is just one example, almost everyone can be helped yet so many people itch and wheeze and sneeze through the spring and summer when they don't have to. Food allergy is another area where people can struggle to access help. When it comes to drug allergy, far more people think they are allergic to medicines than actually are. This can have far-reaching consequences; particularly when it comes to avoiding Penicillin unnecessarily.

I believe in trying to make medicine accessible to the public and have appeared multiple times on national television. I speak publically about allergies and have been quoted in the Times, Guardian, Daily Mail and Daily Express amongst others. I have been listed as an Expert Panelist In Waitrose Health and have spoken about allergies on the Liz Earle podcast. I am active on social media and have over 10,000 followers on Twitter. I want my patients and their families to feel empowered about what to do and when to seek help.

To this end, in March 2022, I published my first book called Understanding Allergy (Penguin Random House) aimed at both medical professionals and those suffering with allergy. It reached number 30 in the Amazon best sellers chart.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
