The North West Paediatric Allergy Network are keen to understand the challenges you are facing and to what extent information and guidelines about CMPA filter down to you effectively. Even if you have only managed 1 or 2 infants with CMPA, we would really appreciate it if you were able to answer the following short questionnaire:
