The Allergy Centre of Excellence is a leading institution dedicated to providing personalised care for children with food allergies. Founded by Professors Adam Fox, George Du Toit, and Gideon Lack, internationally recognised leaders in paediatric allergy, the centre is built on a foundation of groundbreaking research and clinical excellence. Their work has helped shape the largest specialist allergy service in the UK, ensuring that families receive the most advanced and effective treatments available.

The centre specialises in Oral Immunotherapy (OIT), also known as Oral Tolerance Induction (OTI), a carefully controlled treatment that involves gradually introducing allergens to increase tolerance. This evidence-based therapy is designed to reduce sensitivity and the risk of severe reactions, helping children and their families manage food allergies with greater confidence. Treatments are available for almond, Brazil nut, cashew, chickpea, coconut, hazelnut, milk, red lentil, Palforzia (peanut), pea, peanut, sesame, walnut, wheat, and egg (will be added), with each programme designed to meet the specific needs of the child.

Safety is the cornerstone of the Allergy Centre of Excellence. Recognising the need for rigorous safety measures in allergen desensitisation, the centre has partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, a world-renowned institution with exceptional facilities for administering PALFORZIA and other allergen-based treatments. Families have access to a professor-led helpline, ensuring continuous support between treatment sessions, and a highly responsive administrative team to help minimise the disruption of regular visits on daily life.

The Allergy Centre of Excellence operates from multiple locations across London, including Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and Cavendish Health Centre.
