🚨 ANAPHYLAXIS AWARENESS WEEK | 1–7 OCTOBER 🚨

This Anaphylaxis Awareness Week, it’s a good opportunity for everyone working in healthcare to refresh their knowledge of anaphylaxis and emergency response.

One important development this year is Benedict’s Law, which introduces new statutory allergy safety requirements for schools in England from September 2026.

The new requirements include:

✅ Allergy awareness and emergency response training for staff
✅ Whole-school allergy policies
✅ Individual healthcare/action plans
✅ Spare, in-date adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) available for emergencies

Benedict’s Law was introduced following the tragic death of five-year-old Benedict Blythe from anaphylaxis at school. Its focus on training, preparedness and rapid access to adrenaline carries an important message for all of us working in healthcare.

Are we confident that we would recognise anaphylaxis quickly and know exactly what to do?

Anaphylaxis can develop rapidly. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat or tongue, dizziness, collapse and other sudden symptoms.

Adrenaline is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and should be given without delay when indicated.

This week:
🔹 Refresh your anaphylaxis knowledge
🔹 Check your local emergency procedures
🔹 Make sure you know where emergency equipment and adrenaline are kept
🔹 Ensure your team knows how to recognise and respond to anaphylaxis
🔹 Share reliable information with colleagues, patients and families

❤️ A few minutes of preparation could make a life-saving difference when every second counts.

💛 Su***de Prevention Month💛

Every year, more than 720,000 people worldwide die by su***de. Behind every statistic is a person whose life mattered.

Su***de is preventable, and sometimes a simple conversation can make a difference.

Check in. Listen without judgment. Ask how someone is really doing.

If you’re struggling, you are not alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Let’s change the conversation. Let’s choose compassion, connection, and hope.

💗July is Disability Pride Month 💗

This month is about recognising disability as a natural part of human diversity and celebrating the strength, creativity, and contributions of disabled people. It’s also a reminder that pride and accessibility go hand in hand because dignity, inclusion, and equal access should never be optional.

Pride is not about “overcoming” disability, it’s about challenging stigma, dismantling barriers, and valuing every person as they are.

Let’s keep working toward a world that is more accessible, more inclusive, and more just.

💧 Preventing Heat-Related Illness

• Wear light, loose-fitting clothing where appropriate
