AllergyWise for families, carers and individuals
Kate Stein, Technical Manager, Sponsor of Allergy Action Group at Marks & Spencer says:
"When I heard that The Anaphylaxis Campaign were launching this training I was very keen that we trained our Allergen Action Group at Marks & Spencer to ensure we really understood the issues that people have to deal with on a day to day basis. The course was excellent and reminded us all how important it is that we do all we can as a food retailer to help individuals with Food Allergies. We are thinking about using the AllergyWise training more broadly in our business to help raise awareness".
Developed for anyone wanting to know more about anaphylaxis, whether you:
- have a severe allergy yourself
