Penicillin allergy and desensitisation in the intensive care unit setting - a survey
Project lead: John Taylor, UHPNT
https://forms.gle/uSqRnKAc4QVaE4UG9
Most penicillin allergy records are spurious, but detailed investigation of penicillin allergy is not usually possible/reliable in critically unwell patients. However, penicillin desensitization may be helpful to allow penicillin use acutely, although it does not alter the reported allergy. We would like to explore knowledge and familiarity with penicillin desensitization as an option in managing patients in critical care units.

Implementing a Perioperative Pen icillin Allergy De-labelling Service (IPPADS)
Project lead: Neil Roberts, RCHT

Part one of IPPADS is a short survey using implementation science to examine factors affecting whether anaesthetists would or would not give penicillin to someone who has had a penicillin allergy removed through a ‘de-labelling process’ administered through pre-assessment clinic. Part two of IPPADS – looking at barriers and enablers towards the implementation of these de-labelling processes across the region – to follow in the next couple of months!
