Odette Rodda

Hello! I am Odette. I am currently an Advanced Nurse Specialist for Children and Young People in Dermatology and Allergy at University Hospital Dorset.

I joined the dermatology team in 2009 to lead and develop the children’s service and quickly realised my families would be better cared for, if I further developed my allergy knowledge.

I joined the children’s allergy team in 2010 and developed a joint allergy dermatology clinic for our children and families who were struggling. I have worked in partnership with the dieticians, co-taught professionals about Cow’s Milk Protein allergy and eczema and realised that a multi-professional approach to managing children with eczema and allergies is essential.

To extend my knowledge I completed a Masters in Allergy. This gave me the opportunity to network with lots of like-minded people and is where I met Dr Helen! Fast forward a year …I am joining her in her business to be able to give you advice about all things Eczema and Allergy!

My personal aspiration is for all families to have access to professionals who know how to manage eczema and allergies, giving sensible advice and allowing you to enjoy your child.
