How to get involved – health care professionals

Are you a health care professional with experience of looking after children with eczema and/or food allergy?

This is a great opportunity to shape the research that will deliver improvements to help your day-to-day practice and care for these children and their families.

This research aims to improve care processes and outcomes for children with eczema and food allergy.

Taking part is a great way to stay up-to-date with the latest research in this area and inform your clinical practice.

The new Centre for Applied Excellence in Skin and Allergy Research (CAESAR) at the University of Bristol has been established to improve the diagnosis and treatment of common skin and allergy problems in primary care. 

During its first five years, CAESAR will work on the Transforming Outcomes for Paediatric Allergy in Primary Care (TOPIC) programme. Underpinned by strong public, patient and stakeholder involvement, supporting equality, diversity and inclusion, it will address the following research questions: 

  1. What are the most effective and safe ways to use emollients and topical corticosteroids to treat children with eczema in primary care?  
  2. Does an eczema clinic in primary care improve disease control in children? 
  3. What are the priorities for food allergy research in children? 
  4. What awareness is there of early allergen introduction advice, is it being followed and is it preventing food allergy?
