Specialist expertise meeting modern life. Remote-supported care that's accessible, effective, and designed around what works for families and individuals.
NHS allergy services are stretched. Waiting months for specialist assessment is common. For families needing answers urgently, this delay creates anxiety and risk.
Most specialist allergy services are concentrated in major cities. If you live outside London or other major centres, accessing specialist care can mean long journeys, time away from work or school, and significant disruption.
Traditional hospital appointments demand being at a specific place at a specific time. For working parents, this is difficult. For families managing multiple allergies, multiple appointments multiply the disruption.
Many allergy services offer diagnosis and management of avoidance — but newer treatments like oral immunotherapy aren't widely available on the NHS.
When multiple family members have allergies, they often see different specialists who don't communicate. This makes household planning difficult and misses opportunities for coordinated approach.
Food allergy causes anxiety, fear, and grief about restrictions. Many services are clinical without addressing the human impact. Families feel unsupported in coping with the lifestyle changes.
Most of your care happens by video call. This means no travel, no time away from work or school, and leading specialist expertise available wherever you are in the UK.
Your initial consultation and diagnostic tests are normally in-person. After that, most of the dialogue, planning, and treatment oversight work well remotely.
Traditional peanut OIT programmes increase doses at fortnightly intervals, with each step raising the dose by 25-100%. These large jumps carry higher reaction risk and require supervised clinic visits for every increase.
Our programme uses smaller, more frequent adjustments - around 6% daily - so the change between consecutive doses is much less abrupt. This is what makes home-based treatment possible, with daily monitoring through our clinical diary app and direct access to our specialist team.
Some assessments benefit from being face-to-face. Patients also sometimes prefer in-person appointments. We offer flexibility.
No NHS waiting lists. Affordable specialist appointment within weeks, not months. This means quicker answers and faster path to treatment.
No travel time, no missing school or work. Care fits around your life instead of your life fitting around appointments.
We offer newer treatments like oral immunotherapy, getting access to the best current medicine.
If multiple family members have allergies, we coordinate their care. One specialist team understanding everyone's needs. Household-focused planning.
We address the emotional and practical side of allergy, not just the clinical diagnosis. You're supported in navigating lifestyle, psychology, and relationships alongside medical management.
Your preferences matter. Want in-person? Available. Prefer remote? That's your primary pathway. We adapt to what works for you, not the reverse.
Our specialists are drawn from one of the UK's leading teaching hospitals. This isn't a standalone private clinic. We're embedded in academic medicine, which means our approach is grounded in current research and clinical evidence.
Cambridge has been at the forefront of food allergy research for over 20 years. Our team includes researchers actively investigating new approaches, new diagnostic methods, and new treatments. This means you benefit from cutting-edge knowledge while it's still emerging.
Our specialists have trained in world-leading allergy centres. They bring expertise in complex conditions and newer treatments like immunotherapy.
If you're unsure whether OIT is right for you or your child, get in touch. We'll carry out a thorough assessment and give you an honest recommendation - we will only offer treatment when we believe it's appropriate.

Contact UsWe believe in complete transparency. Like any medical treatment, OIT can cause side effects - particularly during the updosing phase. Knowing what to expect helps you make an informed decision.
Itchy mouth, stomach discomfort, or mild swelling. Common in most patients during updosing and usually self-resolving.
Abdominal pain and sometimes vomiting, may occur in around a third of patients, transiently. These are managed with dose adjustments and close guidance from our team.
Anaphylaxis requiring adrenaline is uncommon but possible. This is why we provide emergency preparedness training, emergency medication, daily monitoring, and direct access to our specialist team throughout treatment.
Not all oral immunotherapy programmes are the same. Before committing to any clinic, we encourage potential patients to ask these questions:
We use only pharmaceutical-grade treatments manufactured in MHRA-inspected facilities to GMP standards. Our team brings over 20 years of clinical experience in peanut OIT and conducted the first published clinical trial in the UK.
We believe these are the right questions to ask of any clinic - including ours.
Specialist allergy care that's actually accessible, effective, and designed around modern life.
