About
I have been a Consultant Immunologist since 2012, treating patients with various allergies (food, pollen, house dust mites, drugs, chronic spontaneous urticaria), primary and secondary antibody deficiency, and Hereditary angioedema. I principally work on the NHS in Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (John Radcliffe Hospital and Churchill Hospital), but I also see private allergy and immunology patients on Wednesdays at The Manor Hospital in Oxford and on Tuesdays at Churchill Hospital.
I am available to see patients with food allergy, oral allergy syndrome, aeroallergen allergy (due to pollen, house dust mites, moulds, and animal dander), anaphylaxis, urticaria and angioedema, bee and wasp venom allergy and drug allergy. I can offer skin prick tests, arrange for blood tests, and offer appropriate advice in the diagnosis and management of these allergies.
For Allergy patients, I take a history, based on which I offer skin prick tests and/or blood tests as needed, interpret the tests, and advise on managing the underlying condition.
For Immunodeficiency patients, I will take a history to ascertain the nature of their infections, perform blood tests, offer interpretation, and give advice on management.

She is actively involved in clinical trials having participated in trial on use of C1 Inhibitor concentrate in acute abdominal and facial oedema in hereditary angioedema and in open label, multicentre study to evaluate safety, local tolerability convenience and efficacy of self-administered subcutaneous Icatibant in treatment of acute hereditary angioedema attacks.
She has been involved in studies on role of stressors in the pathogenesis of chronic spontaneous urticaria. She did an audit to establish that maximal, optimal medical therapy can improve outcome in patients with severe allergic rhinitis due to grass pollen.
