Reducing the Risk of Anaphylaxis in Teenagers

😮‍💨 There’s no survival guide on how to live with allergies, much of our own learning about our condition is through trial and error and adapting our lives to protect ourselves.

With the burden that living with allergies can be for individuals and their families. The daily challenges individuals and families face can impact their health and well-being.

🚀 Allergy Act is on a mission to change that.

We’re back for a second year, and it's set to be bigger and better than ever!

After a successful event last year with over 100 attendees, we’re expecting even more participants this year, with many travelling from across Ireland and the UK.

Check out what we got up to last year:

Partnering with Queen’s University Belfast, this year’s retreat will focus on “Reducing the Risk of Anaphylaxis in Teenagers,” aiming to enhance the knowledge and skills of families in managing allergic conditions.

We're excited to provide a unique and informative educational experience, featuring expert speakers including Healthcare Professionals, Psychologists and Patient advocates.

🚀 We want to help empower families with science-backed knowledge, guidance, resources and training to help you navigate life with allergies.

Join us for an educational and informative retreat dedicated to understanding and managing allergic disease.

Whether you suffer from allergies yourself, have children with allergies or want to learn how to support loved ones, this event is for you.

Hosted at the One Elmwood Student Centre, Queen's University Belfast, University Road in Belfast, BT7 1NN, our retreat will take place on Saturday, November 30th, 2024 starting at 10:00 AM GMT- 3 PM.
