Evelina Children’s Allergy Service at St. Thomas’ Hospital is a specialist allergy service offering treatment for all allergic conditions and offers both sublingual and subcutaneous desensitisation for a number of different inhalant allergens and oral food immunotherapy (cow’s milk and peanut as Palforzia). We work in partnership with the Adult Allergy service at Guy’s Hospital and provide an adolescent clinic for transition between the two services.

The Children’s Allergy service is a designated training centre and has received accreditation at the highest level of the international Quality Management scheme by the GALEN European network of excellence (www.ga2len.net) and the World Allergy Organization (WAO). The department runs a comprehensive postgraduate education programme through the KCL Allergy Academy (www.allergyacademy.org) and a large research programme.

All clinics are consultant led and supported by specialist nurses and dieticians. There are joint clinics with other specialities including dermatology, gastroenterology, ENT, respiratory medicine for complex cases. We also run a dedicated Drug Allergy clinic and High Risk Vaccination services, as a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination centre. We have a dedicated paediatric allergy psychology service and deliver individual therapy and workshops for children, young people and parents.
