WHO
The ANACARE CORE Network is an initiative by GA²LEN (Global Allergy and Asthma Excellence Network) with the aim of developing and accrediting 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. 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.
WHY
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 GA²LEN ANACAREs. The main aims of GA²LEN ANACAREs are to;
- provide excellence in anaphylaxis and food allergy management
- increase knowledge of anaphylaxis and food allergy with research, education and studies
- to promote the awareness of anaphylaxis and food allergy by advocacy activities
