Emergency treatment of anaphylaxis: guidelines for healthcare providers (Resuscitation Council)

This guideline is for healthcare providers who are expected to treat anaphylaxis during their usual clinical role (e.g. doctors, nurses, paramedics) working in a hospital or out-of-hospital setting. 

The most recent version of this Guideline was published in May 2021. It replaces the previous guideline from Resuscitation Council UK: ‘Emergency treatment of anaphylactic reactions – Guidelines for healthcare providers’ (originally published January 2008, annotated July 2012 with links to NICE guidance).
