Allergy & Immunology
- British Paediatric Allergy, Immunity & Infection Group
The British Paediatric Allergy, Immunity and Infection Group (BPAIIG) is an affiliated speciality group of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) . Members of the BPAIIG are actively involved in the clinical care of children as well as in research and development of new methods of investigation and treatment of allergic, immune and infectious conditions. Research presentations by trainees are an important part of the Spring and Autumn meetings. Encouraging trainees to proceed in this field is a crucial function of the group. Establishment of the annual Oxford Infection and Immunity Summer Meeting in 2003 under the auspices of BPAIIG and the European Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID), has complemented the BPAIIG rolling training programme. BPAIIG members are also involved with the specialist training of young doctors, via the Allergy, Immunology, and Infectious Diseases CSAC of the RCPCH.

The MHA Code of Practice has key information that all involved in the emergency care of children should know:
"Emergency treatment- 19.71 A life-threatening emergency may arise when treatment needs to be given but
it is not possible to rely on the consent of the child, young person or person with parental responsibility and there is no time to seek authorisation from the court or (where applicable) to detain and treat under the Act. If the failure to treat the child or young person would be likely to lead to their death or to severe permanent injury, treatment may be given without their consent, even if this means overriding their refusal when they have the competence (children) or the capacity (young people and those with parental responsibility), to make this treatment decision. In such cases, the courts have stated that doubt should be resolved in favour of the preservation of life, and it will be acceptable to undertake treatment to preserve life or prevent irreversible serious deterioration of the child or young person’s condition. - 19.72 The treatment given must be no more than necessary and in the best interests of the child or young person. Once the child or young person’s condition is stabilised, legal authority for on-going treatment must be established; this might be on an informal basis (see paragraphs 19.49 – 19.70) or in accordance with either a court order or, if the child or young person is detained, under part 4 of the Act (see paragraphs 19.78 – 19.89)."

TED talk: Nadine Burke Harris- How childhood trauma affects health across a lifetime
Paediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. This unfolds across a lifetime, to the point where those who’ve experienced high levels of trauma are at triple the risk for heart disease and lung cancer. An impassioned plea for paediatric medicine to confront the prevention and treatment of trauma, head-on. - Online Teaching
