Not many editors are modest enough to tell you how much your articles taught them, but Pat Schooling of @AAAllergy, whose newsletter I contributed to for many years, was one of them. She has died, aged 93. Please read @MBJtweets tribute. #allergy michellesblog.co.uk/in-memor…

Pat Schooling died on January 20th at the age of 92. For 30 years she chaired Richmond Borough in Bloom competition, bringing together @LBRuT and gardeners from across the borough. A born organiser, Bloom was just one of Pat’s many activities and we will miss her hugely. RIP.

I meet disappointed parents every week who are told that I "will tell them what's causing their child's eczema" Our meeting is set to fail from the get go due to the basic fact that #eczema is not 'caused' by allergy. I share some thoughts here: nationwidechildrens.org/fami…

From October 2021 food like sandwiches and salads that are packed onsite before a customer orders them will require allergen labelling #PPDS. This will help protect consumers with a #FoodAllergy and enable them to make safe choices when eating on-the-go. food.gov.uk/news-alerts/news…
