What is AllergyWise®?

AllergyWise® is an online course and the easiest way to learn about anaphylaxis, the risks of serious allergies and how to manage them. 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 images and videos to make learning about anaphylaxis easier than ever, no matter who you are or what you do.

Schools have a duty of care to support children with medical conditions, including allergy. We encourage a whole school allergy awareness approach – the more staff who understand allergy and how to recognise an allergic reaction, the more likely your school will be able to safely manage children with allergies.
