The Benedict Blythe Foundation from Stamford is calling on the Government to act immediately to protect pupils at risk of anaphylaxis

following publication of landmark research by Benedict’s mum, Helen Blythe and Professor Paul Turner of Imperial College London and the National Allergy Strategy Group. They believe rolling out spare pens will not only save lives, it would also save the government £4.6 million money that could be reinvested into funding allergy training and rolling out allergy policies.
