Hi, I’m Becky and I am a children’s research nurse working at University Hospital Southampton. I have worked on many allergy immunotherapy studies and this has given me a keen interest in children’s allergy.
I have met lots of children and families living with food allergies and I am passionate about personalised care and building relationships to support families and children through their journey of immunotherapy.
In my usual day-to-day job with allergy studies, I carry out food challenges, perform skin prick tests and run immunotherapy appointments as well as being a support on the phone to anyone calling for advice.
I have seen first-hand how life-changing food immunotherapy is for children and their families. I have been there to hear about how anxious families have now eaten out at restaurants together for the first time, taken their first family holiday abroad, and allowed banned food back into their family home. It makes me feel so privileged to be a part of their journey and see how they have transformed as a family.
Before becoming a children’s research nurse, I worked on paediatric surgical and nephrology wards for 6 years and I have worked in many different hospitals in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Devon and Bristol as an agency children’s nurse.
