Adam sees patients with the full range of allergic disorders and is particularly interested in eczema and food allergy as well as allergen desensitisation, both for foods (including peanut, milk, egg, sesame and tree nuts) as well as environmental allergens such as pollens, dust mites and pets and he is actively involved in research in these areas. Together with two colleagues he established The Food Allergy Immunotherapy Centre at Great Ormond St Hospital in 2021, where he initiated the first patient in the world, outside of the US, on Palforzia (the first licenced food allergy desensitisation product) in October 2021.
Adam read Medicine and Neuroscience at Cambridge University before completing his clinical training at University College, London. After specialist training in Paediatric Allergy in 2006, he was one of the founding consultants of what is now one of Europe's largest specialist Allergy services, at St Thomas' Hospitals, London.

He is also a Professor of Paediatric Allergy at King's College London and the founding Director of the KCL Allergy Academy, a postgraduate educational programme, which was a finalist at the BMJ Awards in 2018.

He remains a Trustee and took on the role of Chair of the National Allergy Strategy Group, working closely with the Department of Health & Social Care, from July 2022. Adam was awarded ‘Paediatric Allergist of the Year' from Allergy UK in 2007. His doctoral thesis on peanut allergy received the Raymond Horton Smith prize from Cambridge University in 2012 and he was included in The Times ‘Britain's 100 Best Children's Doctor's'(2012). Adam received the William Frankland Award for Outstanding contribution to Allergy from the British Society of Allergy & Clinical Immunology in 2015 and a National Clinical Excellence award from the UK Department of Health in 2016 and 2020.

Extremely knowledgeable, highly patient in listening to what we had to say and also acknowledge, and document the most pertinent points. What we were told was explained very well and we feel we know 100% what we need to do to execute the treatment plan to help improve our son's eczema.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your positive feedback!

Had a fantastic first consultation with my child and Prof Fox. He listened and answered all questions. Given it was a late evening appointment and given that he probably repeats the same information multiple times a day he still gave so much energy and attention to the conversation. Feel very reassured to embark on the OIT programme.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your positive feedback!

The sun is finally out, and hay-fever season is fast approaching. Any minute now, teens will tackle their exams with red eyes, and adults will find their romantic country breaks wrecked by unsexy sneezing. We will trudge in our millions to the chemist, where we will buy antihistamines that make us drowsy and steroid nose sprays that provide only momentary relief.
