Mary Josephine Brydon, OBE, FRCN, is a British nurse who helped found the Norfolk Allergy Diagnostic and Advisory Service (NADAAS) and undertook a research project which demonstrated that there was a demand by both doctors and the public for this sort of service.
Another research project in 1997 involved a review of 1,000 patients. She discovered that three quarters of patients with asthma also suffer from rhinitis (which they developed first). [citation needed] In 1992, she joined the management committee of the British Allergy Foundation (now known as Allergy UK) and she has served as a member of the Board of Trustees, is on the Clinical Advisory Board, and is its Vice-President.
