A comment from Allergy London’s - Prof. @DrAdamFox OBE:
🗣️It’s critical that the voice of the whole allergy community is reflected in the National Allergy Strategy 2025-35 so please get involved - deadline 28th November 2025.
It’s a plan shaped by the voices of the entire allergy community, offering a vision for what allergy care in the UK could become.
The final stage where we require your input again…👇
👉 Downlaod the current draft objective and tell us where you disagree or if anything important has been missed out. All comments will then be reviewed by a large group of representatives from all of the organisations involved in the NASG. We hope for a final document, which will be presented to parliamentarians and other key organisations, next April.

The National Allergy Strategy is a project led by the National Allergy Strategy Group (NASG) which is a collaboration of the The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology @BSACI_Allergy and the major UK allergy charities - @AllergyUK1@AnaphylaxisUK and @NatashasLegacy
“Farmers are key custodians of the countryside. The introduction of inheritance tax could lead to the fragmentation of farms, with land being sold off to developers or large agricultural corporations.”

So far in 30 mins of lunch break I’ve phoned and established that the mustards made by the following companies or retailers are NOT implicated in the peanut contamination scare -
@unilever_careUK@waitrose@Tesco
My 21 year old son who is prepping for university has flatly refused my offer of a peanut allergy poster for his shared kitchen - 🤔think I’ll make one anyway #allergymum
Would recommend anyone with a peanut allergy in the UK steers well away from products with mustard powder - the list grows longer every day https://t.co/32DcQvwnww #peanutallergy
❓Allergy parents - questions to ask your school ▶️ Do they refresh their staff allergy training every year? ▶️ Do they have trainer auto-injectors for this? ▶️ Do they have an up-to-date care-plan in place for children with anaphylaxis? #foodallergy#allergyinschools
Shocked to hear that 1 in 3 people with anaphylaxis in England don't carry life-saving adrenaline pens, why is this? Is it due to budgets or allergy awareness with medical professionals? #anaphylaxis#foodallergies
Just discovered Sipsmith Freeglider, my new go-to AF tipple. Add ice, mint, a frozen blackberry or 2 & Mediterranean tonic …it’s not new to the market but new to me! #soberlifestyle#alcoholfree#HealthyLiving

First up, William Morris, 1884 - orange, cardamom, and vanilla 🍊
@NottsAlliance@SFHFT Please include the fact that 10 to 20 % of the time, symptoms will occur with no skin symptoms (hives) as in my sons case - there is a lack of awareness in A & E departments about this
Allergy sufferers - have you also experienced questioning whether you’re suffering an anaphylactic reaction at A&E because you don’t also have hives? Let me know #anaphylaxis@AnaphylaxisUK@FoodAllergyAW
🐱Errol arrived at our centre with sore, open wounds on his face and back. He is on pain relief and steroids, but needs expensive allergy blood tests.
These will cost approximately £620 altogether, so we would really appreciate your donations to help him: https://t.co/enkqVTE257
