RD&E ‘rapid access clinic for Paediatric Dietitian referral for infants with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA)

The RD&E are providing a new ‘rapid access clinic’, which aims to see new referrals for suspected CMPA within 2 weeks.

Please refer infants you suspect to have symptoms of CMPA. We will see breast fed and formula fed infants, and provide recommendations for formula prescriptions where appropriate, thereby reducing the need for this to be initiated in primary care.

Please continue to refer infants with confirmed CMPA.

For the management of CMPA and any other related issue, please refer to your local guidance in addition to considering the following:
