Oral Immunotherapy: our flagship programme
A future with less fear of food
Careful avoidance and a clear emergency plan remain the foundation of food allergy care. For suitable children, oral immunotherapy can work alongside them, gradually increasing the amount of allergen the immune system can tolerate.
Dr Sood leads consultant-supervised programmes for peanut, milk, egg, and cashew & pistachio, delivered in a hospital setting with full emergency support.

About Dr Sood
Medicine that sees the whole child
Dr Rajiv Sood has spent 28 years as an NHS consultant paediatrician, working as an allergy service lead and receiving a national Clinical Excellence Award. 28 years of NHS practice, and almost certainly a doctor who has seen your child's problem before. He listens first.
Every consultation considers the whole child: sleep, growth, family history and daily life, not just the symptom that prompted the visit.
