N.I.C.E Guideline CG116 - Food Allergy in children

On 9th March 09 the Department of Health formally requested the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to prepare a clinical guideline to produce a short clinical guideline on the diagnosis and assessment of food allergy in children, in primary care and community settings.

The final guideline for this document has now been published and is available at http://guidance.nice.org.uk/CG116/Guidance

To tie in with the publication of the NICE clinical guideline on food allergy the The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health have published care pathways for anaphylaxis and food allergy. These pathways can be downloaded from the RCPCH website.
