European Anaphylaxis Taskforce (EAT)
&
GA2LEN INITIATIVE on ANAPHYLAXIS (GAIN)
Introduction
An organisation which co-ordinates stakeholder interests
on all aspects
of anaphylaxis and in co-operation with the GA2LEN working group GAIN is now available in Europe.
Although there are
(inter)national
organisations who are dealing with specific aspects of
allergy in Europe. Some of them are patients support
groups and some of them are professional organisations
focused on the scientific side of the specific aspects.
For instance in Europe is one professional organisation
which is focused on the scientific research on allergy:
the EAACI (European Academy of Allergology and clinical
Immunology). But now there is an European
organisation who will combine all the forces who must
deal with their various aspects of the only life
threatening allergic reaction in the whole allergy
field: Anaphylaxis
Like the Netherlands Anaphylaxis Network (NAN), the
Anaphylaxis Campaign (AC) and Food Allergia Italia
(FAI), EAT will have evidence based medicine as a
fundament for their operations.
EAT will be a flexible and client focused organisation
based on the combination of scientific, technological
knowledge and patient experience.
The NAN, the AC, the AA and FAI are the core members of EAT,
thus enabling EAT to use all the experience and
resources of those organisations and to participate in
the projects in which the organisations are members and
be part of the created network.
The initiative, which EAT will work closely is GAIN;
GA2LEN Initiative on Anaphylaxis. Also other members come from medical research institutes
and allergy clinicians, pharmaceutical, bio-technical,
food and insurance industry or from other scientific
non-profit organisations like ILSI, EUFIC.
From now on this web
site will be filled with information on how to manage
anaphylaxis. Whether you are working as a researcher,
clinician, allied health professional, in the food - or
pharmaceutical industry or as a policy maker for
national or EU governmental bodies, EAT is here for you!
