Food allergy: Finding the right balance. Plus Eczema!
Allergy New Zealand’s national conference this year focuses on food allergy — and how to find the right balance. Our Sunday programme focuses exclusively on eczema.
Our keynote speaker
Professor Paula Barrett is an international expert on anxiety in children, and she will explain how to recognise when anxiety is too much, what you can do and how you can support your child.
On Friday special
workshops for health and education professionals focus on anxiety in children, allergy diagnosis, and dietetic management of food allergy.

Food allergy research fund launched
-
Great start with a $10,000 kick-off donation from Peter and Janice Leitch.

Fund raising through TradeMe Auctions
We need your help!
Very little is known about food allergy in New Zealand and research is needed so we can do more to help improve the lives of allergy sufferers.
Research can help us advocate for improvements in health services and funding for vital medicines such as an adrenaline auto-injector for treating anaphylaxis
To meet this need we have set up a
Food Allergy Research Fund.The fund will enable us to assist and, if
necessary, commission research projects geared towards improving the daily lives of individuals and families. We are very grateful for the enormous generosity shown by our irrepressible ambassador Peter Leitch and his wife Janice, who have donated $10,000 to kick off the fund.
As a first step to build the fund we're running an ongoing series of
TradeMe Auctions starting at the end of this month. We need your help to source items for sale, to encourage relatives and friends to join in, and to bid for items!
