Welcome to the Allergy pages of the website. Allergic disease has become dramatically more common in the UK over the past few decades, with nearly 40% of children having an allergic diagnosis. Allergic disease effects a child’s growth, development, educational, social and psychological well being.
 
The specialty of Paediatric Allergy is also growing, and it is a particular aim of BPAIIG to continue this growth. These pages will act as a portal to information about the specialty for those Paediatricians who already have, or those wishing to, develop their expertise in Allergy. The Allergy representative for the BPAIIG is Dr Adam Fox (link to adam_fox@btinternet.com).
 
The BPAIIG works closely with the British Society of Allergy & Clinical Immunology which also represents the interests of Allergologists. The BSACI has a Paediatric Sub-committee, currently chaired by Prof John Warner, as well as a trainee representative (TBC).
