Q&A with Consultant in Paediatric Allergy, Professor Nick Makwana
What does an allergy doctor wish schools knew about allergies, what’s the best approach if you’re struggling to get medical information from families, when can you use a spare adrenaline pen, what is the risk from airborne allergies?
We’re fortunate that Professor Nick Makwana, who is a Consultant Paediatrician with an Interest in Allergy in the West Midlands, will explore these issues in our specialist Q&A.
Important note: this event is being held to support school staff, but we are opening it up to Family Members of the Allergy Team who have an interest in how allergies are managed in schools.
