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.

UPCOMING Expert Q&As
Managing your family’s mental health and food allergy with Clinical Psychologist, Dr Karen Murphy

Clinical Psychologist
Friday 24th March
1 pm
If you are a member, please email us here to reserve your place.
When food is something to be scared of, it can take a toll on our mental health. From worrying whether your child is safe, to anxiety about what the future holds, it’s very hard to switch off if your child has a food allergy and to take the time out to look after your own well-being. On top of that you may be trying to support your child with their own worries and fears.
This is why we are so delighted that Clinical Psychologist, Dr Karen Murphy is joining us for her first Q&A. Dr Murphy is one of a handful of psychologists with a special focus on allergies and mental health and she has a wealth of experience in the NHS and in her own private practice.
Last year, we ran a series of brilliant workshops with Dr Muphy and received great feedback. She is so good at providing practical tips to support with everyday life as well as bigger issues.
Dr Murphy is giving up her time for free so we can keep costs down.
Cost:
FREE to Founder Members of The Allergy Team, email us to book.
Sign up here to become a Founder Member for just £65.89/year – or there is a one-off charge of £10 to attend this webinar if you are a non-member.
The Q&A will be recorded and available to watch afterwards.
