Dr. Michael Byrne:

There are two issues. There are those who are known to have an anaphylaxis or an allergy and those who are unknown, and we need to be able to cater for both. Anaphylaxis, as a word, is in common coinage among all our students, just as is a proper approach to alcohol. They will recognise that they are at risk and be willing to come forward. However, it is a multipronged approach because we have to acknowledge that even if we do the best and raise the profile of the risks around anaphylaxis they still will not do so. So we need to make provision for that and make provision for the presence of these adrenaline pens in restaurants, on campus and beside the running track, and we need the first responders to be in place.
