In a significant evolution of its brand, The Food Allergy Immunotherapy Centre is now known as the “Allergy Centre of Excellence”. This name change reflects our ongoing commitment to be pioneers in the management and treatment of food allergies.
Elevated Dedication to Clinical Excellence and Patient-Oriented Care
Building on the foundation established by The Food Allergy Immunotherapy Centre, the Allergy Centre of Excellence has intensified its dedication to clinical excellence and patient-oriented care. The centre was founded by the renowned Professors Gideon Lack, Adam Fox, and George Du Toit and continues to lead in paediatric allergy care with groundbreaking treatments like PALFORZIA, an FDA-approved therapy that revolutionises peanut allergy treatment from mere avoidance to proactive management.
The rebranding reflects a commitment to offering comprehensive allergy care, maintaining stringent safety standards, and providing a patient-first approach tailored to the complex requirements of those suffering from severe allergies.
Transforming Allergy Treatment with PALFORZIA
The licensing of PALFORZIA in 2020, the first of its kind in the US and Europe, influenced the roll out of further oral immunotherapy treatments (OIT). These treatments embody a significant shift from avoiding allergens to actively shielding against them. Our collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital, featuring advanced facilities for allergen administration, makes these treatments more accessible.
Service Expansion to Meet Growing Needs
In light of the increasing incidence of severe food allergies, the Allergy Centre of Excellence has expanded its desensitisation treatments to include almond, cashew, hazelnut, sesame, milk, wheat and walnut. These new treatments are grounded in recent oral immunotherapy (OIT) advancements, which have shown success in desensitising patients, thereby enhancing both safety and quality of life.
Integrity and Empathy at the Core of Our Process
Our centre’s allergy desensitisation process is comprehensive and focused on the patient. We prioritise shared decision-making, ensuring that families are well-informed about their treatment options. Our protocols are meticulously designed to ensure safety and efficacy, covering every step from initial assessment to the maintenance phase of treatment.
Looking Forward: Innovating for a Better Future
As the Allergy Centre of Excellence, we are committed to leading future innovations in allergy treatment. Driven by our core values of empathy, clinical excellence, integrity, respect, and teamwork, we continue to push the boundaries of allergy care, striving to improve the lives of our patients and redefine standards in healthcare.
