In this episode we’re joined by Professor Adam Fox OBE, a leading Consultant Paediatric Allergist at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Professor of Paediatric Allergy at King’s College London, and co-founder of London’s first and only specialist allergy hospital, Allergy Centre of Excellence.
Professor Fox shares expert answers to some of the most common and urgent questions we hear through our helpline and social channels about adrenaline and anaphylaxis. We go right back to the fundamental basics of adrenaline and anaphylaxis — from how it works and when to use it, to why carrying two AAIs is so important, plus side effects and other practical concerns.
We then turn to EURneffy—what it is, how it compares with EpiPen and Jext, who may benefit, likely NHS access timelines, and practical issues such as switching or carrying devices, and real-world reports of effects.
Whether you’re a parent, carer, healthcare professional or someone living with allergy, this episode gives clear, evidence-based answers and practical steps for staying safe and confident in an emergency.
