with Consultant in Paediatric Allergy, Dr Gary Stiefel
From festive adverts on TV to family gatherings and parties, this time of year brings with it a big focus on food. If you’re living with food allergy that can mean lots of planning, extra cooking ‘just in case’ there’s nothing safe for your family to eat, wondering if you can say yes to that invitation or if it’s too stressful and tricky conversations about logistics with friends and loved ones.
To help you navigate all this with confidence, we’re delighted to announce that Allergy UK is holding a FREE online Q&A exploring living well with food allergy this winter with Consultant in Paediatric Allergy, Dr Gary Stiefel.
Date and time
Date: Monday 24th November
Time: 7.30-8.30pm
