Adam Fox is a paediatric allergy consultant]] [3] and a child allergy specialist.[4] He is President of the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology,[5] and he won the Raymond Horton-Smith Prize in 2012 for his doctoral thesis.[6]

Education and career

Fox read medicine and neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and completed his clinical training at University College London. Initially, Fox trained as a general paediatrician. However, he decided to specialise in paediatric allergies whilst doing his Master's in clinical paediatrics at Great Ormond St Hospital.[7] Fox took a specialist registrar post at St Mary's Hospital, London, which at the time was the only dedicated paediatric allergy research centre. Here, he became less interested in being a general paediatrician and more interested in being a tertiary paediatric allergist.[8]

Fox spent nine years as the clinical lead of Allergy at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospitals, London and a further three years as their clinical director for Specialist Ambulatory Medicine. [9] He is currently the Commercial Medical Director for the Hospital's NHS Foundation Trust.[10]

He helped lead the access of UK patients to treatments such as sublingual immunotherapy, established the largest NHS Children’s clinic for this treatment.[5] Fox was the senior author of the International Milk Allergy in Primary Care (iMAP) guideline, published in 2017 and updated in 2019.[9]

In 2012 Cambridge University awarded him the Raymond Horton-Smith Prize for his doctoral thesis on peanut allergies,[6] and The Sunday Times ranked Fox among Britain's Top 100 Children's doctors.[11]

In 2018, the British Society of Clinical Immunology elected Fox as their President.[9]
