Penicillin Allergy Awareness and Checklist - NI Rolloutpenicillin

The Pharmacy Forum NI will be endorsing he new Penicillin Allergy Checklist for pharmacists and other medical professionals rolling them out NI-wide in the week beginning 23rd September.

The checklist will help pharmacists and other healthcare professionals to diagnose if a patient is allergic to penicillin or not.

In September of last year, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS – responsible for England, Scotland, and Wales) rolled out the new Penicillin Allergy Guidelines and brought media attention to the findings that over 90% of those labelled with a ‘penicillin allergy’ may not be allergic at all.
