The UK has some of the highest prevalence of allergic conditions in the world. Around eight per cent of British children are thought to suffer from a food allergy, and 1 in 70 children suffer from nut allergies alone.
GPDQ, the UK's first doctor-on-demand app is partnering with ChannelMum.com to celebrate Food Allergy Awareness Week from 13th - 19th May.
Despite how common and widespread life-threatening food allergies are amongst children in the UK, there is still a lack of awareness, understanding and education amongst parents which is putting children at risk of losing their lives.
