Allergic disease is on the rise and has been termed the ‘Modern Epidemic’ for which there is, so far, no cure. Food allergy in infants, which can often go undiagnosed for some time, is particularly distressing for both the infants and their families and it can have an adverse effect on healthy growth and development. I will be discussing the current landscape of allergy in infants, as well as considering the treatment and care of these children.

She trained at University College Hospital, followed by paediatric training at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.

Visiting schools and carrying out health assessments made Amena very aware of the rising incidence of allergy in the UK and this was instrumental in developing her interest in the field.
