EXPERT Q&As
The Allergy Team is fortunate to have the support of allergy experts, including consultants, nurses, dietitians and psychologists, who join us for regular presentations and Q&A sessions.
Typically, these hour-long webinars work like a conversation, with a member of The Allergy Team putting your questions to the expert in the hot seat. Sometimes we cover anything and everything and on other occasions, we focus on a particular topic.
You’ll find details of upcoming Q&As and webinars below… be warned, they book up fast!

Desperate for a min-break, family holiday or backpacking adventure, but worried about travelling with food allergies? It’s not unusual to feel this way, particularly if you have a relatively new diagnosis or have had negative travel experiences in the past.
But travelling with food allergies is not only possible but can be really enjoyable – it might just take a bit more destination research and planning. To help if you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure, we’ve brought together two great guests for an hour-long Q&A on this topic.
Dr José Costa is a Consultant Paediatrician in Allergy. He is Honorary Clinical Lecturer at Warwick Medical School, a Member of the Standards of Care Committee at The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) and runs several allergy clinics. He lists “travelling, sightseeing and scuba diving” among his interests!
Kyle Dine will be joining us from Canada. He’s lived with multiple food allergies to peanut, tree nuts, egg, seafood and mustard for over 30 years. He says that used to make him stay close to home but he discovered travel in his early 20s and says, “It changed my life”. Kyle has founded Equal Eats, a company which creates allergy translation cards so you can explain your allergies in the local language when you go abroad.
Kyle and Dr Costa have given up their time for free to take part in this hour-long online Q&A which will be recorded and available to buy afterwards (remember Founder Members have free access to all our Q&As!)
