At Anaphylaxis UK, we are dedicated to advancing our understanding of serious allergies and anaphylaxis. By participating in our research opportunities, you can contribute to vital studies that have the potential to save lives and improve the quality of life for those affected by allergies.

Allergies impact millions of people worldwide, and severe reactions can be life-threatening. Your involvement in our research efforts can help:

  • Advance Scientific Knowledge: Your experiences provide valuable insights that can lead to new discoveries and better understanding of allergies.
  • Improve Treatments: Contributing to research can lead to the development of more effective treatments and management strategies.
  • Influence Policy: Data collected can help shape public health policies and awareness campaigns.

How You Can Get Involved

Advancements in allergy research rely on the participation of individuals living with serious allergies. By sharing your experiences, you can help drive progress and potentially uncover new treatments or management strategies.
On this page, you’ll find information on how you can get involved with allergy research, including:

  • Completing research surveys to provide valuable patient insights
  • Participating in focus groups to share your perspective
