ANACARE – We provide excellence in Anaphylaxis and Food Allergy management
The ANACARE program is an initiative by Global Allergy and Asthma Excellence Network e.V. for increasing the knowledge of anaphylaxis and food allergy by research, advocating for awareness, and accrediting an interactive network of centers of reference and excellence worldwide.
Who We Are
The ANACARE CORE Network aims to develop and accredit an interactive network of centres of reference and excellence in Anaphylaxis and Food Allergy management.
Anaphylaxis is a common and debilitating condition that can be a challenge for both patients and treating physicians, especially when recurrent. Since its start in June of 2021, the ANACARE network is growing fast. Centers of reference and excellence in Anaphylaxis (ANACAREs) can help to improve the management of hard to treat conditions.
At present, it is the most active and vibrant consortium of immunologists, Key Opinion Leaders and leading treatment centres producing guidelines, publications, educational events such as Masterclasses, and key annual meetings such as GAFA.
What We Do
Anaphylaxis is a debilitating condition and can be a challenge for both patients and treating physicians. Centers of reference and excellence in Anaphylaxis and Food Allergy (ANACAREs) can help to improve the management of hard to treat conditions. Here, we describe the aims, the requirements and deliverables, the application process, and the audit and accreditation protocol for ANACAREs. The main aims of ANACAREs are to:
- to promote the awareness of anaphylaxis and food allergy by advocacy activities
- provide excellence in anaphylaxis and food allergy management
- increase knowledge of anaphylaxis and food allergy with research, education and studies
Uniting all interested parties, partners, and collaboration centres
in increasing the knowledge of anaphylaxis and food allergy by research.
