We provide tailored advice to healthcare professionals through expert-led events and a national helpline. AllergyWise, by Anaphylaxis UK, offers a wide range of paid and free courses for the awareness and accreditation of anaphylaxis and allergic reaction responses for individuals and professionals.
Diagnosing Anaphylaxis
NICE have published quality standards and clinical guidelines covering the diagnosis of anaphylaxis and food allergies, including care and assessment after emergency treatment, and referral pathways.
Prescribing Adrenaline
Adrenaline (epinephrine) is the emergency treatment for a severe reaction. If it’s given quickly, it can treat the features of anaphylaxis by acting on adrenoceptors.
Allergy Management Plans
A management plan can lead to fewer patients having further reactions, and when reactions do happen, they are mostly mild.
A discussion aid with patients on how to use their devices and downloadable Patient Information Poster.
Our Patient Information Poster provides essential information for you to support your allergic patients and is supported by a QR code to enable the professional and patient to access the information they need to manage their serious allergies.

The courses can be worked through conveniently from your home or workplace, wherever and whenever it suits you. The courses are simple to follow with interactive diagrams and graphics which makes learning about anaphylaxis and teaching those around you easier than ever, no matter who you are or what you do.
