Is your child’s school allergy-ready for September? 🎒🥜

New government guidance means every school in England must now have an allergy safety policy in place — not just a “nice to have” anymore, it’s a requirement.

Here’s your quick checklist to check with your child’s school 👇

✅ Do they have a written allergy safety policy?
✅ Is your child’s Individual Healthcare Plan up to date?
✅ Are ALL staff trained — not just the first-aiders?
✅ Is their adrenaline auto-injector in date?
✅ Do they log allergy incidents and near misses?

And if you’re still not 100% sure what your child reacts to — that’s the first thing to sort. An Individual Healthcare Plan is only as good as the diagnosis behind it 🔍

Sneezing, itchy eyes, a blocked or runny nose, and constant irritation could be caused by an allergy to Timothy grass pollen—one of the most common triggers of seasonal hay fever in the UK.

A New Era Molecular Allergy Testing

A New Era Molecular Allergy Testing For years, allergy testing has focused on identifying what you are allergic to — grass pollen, house dust mite, peanuts, cats. However, recent medical research is shifting the focus to a more important question: how exactly your immune system reacts to those all...

Could treating hay fever earlier help protect against asthma later?

New evidence in allergy medicine suggests that early SLIT immunotherapy may do more than reduce symptoms — it may help change the long-term course of allergic disease in selected patients.

SLIT (sublingual immunotherapy) is a specialist allergy treatment designed to gradually train the immune system to tolerate allergens such as:
• Grass pollen
• Tree pollen
• House dust mites
• Animal dander

Recent studies suggest potential benefits may include:

* Reduced allergy symptoms
* Less reliance on antihistamines and nasal sprays
* Fewer asthma flare-ups
* Possible reduction in asthma progression in some patients

Early assessment is important, especially for persistent hay fever symptoms or allergic asthma.

Every patient is different, and treatment suitability should always be assessed by an allergy specialist.

Book a consultant-led allergy assessment to discuss whether SLIT may be appropriate for you or your child.

🧠🌿 Mind, Mucosa and Skin — the connection you might not know about
Did you know that chronic hives (urticaria), nasal allergies and mental wellbeing are often closely linked?
A 2026 study of patients with difficult-to-treat chronic spontaneous urticaria found that over 90% had a co-existing psychiatric diagnosis — most commonly anxiety. More than half also had allergic rhinitis, adding sleep disruption, fatigue and daily strain on top of unpredictable skin symptoms.
It's a cycle many patients know too well:
🔴 Hives flare unexpectedly → stress rises
😴 Nasal symptoms disrupt sleep → energy and mood drop
😟 Anxiety and low mood → symptoms feel harder to control
The important message: your symptoms are real, and the full picture deserves proper attention.
At London Allergy and Immunology Centre (LAIC), we take a whole-person approach — looking at skin, airways, sleep and wellbeing together, not in isolation. As an ACARE and UCARE accredited centre, our specialist team can help assess what's really going on and create a personalised plan.
👉 If you've had hives or swelling for more than 6 weeks, antihistamines aren't working, or allergy symptoms are affecting your sleep and mood — it may be time for an expert review.
