About ISPAR
From small beginnings
We are a multidisciplinary group of clinicians and academics working in the field of perioperative allergy. The founder members are 26 colleagues who originally came together to develop some international consensus guidelines and reviews for a Special Issue of the British Journal of Anaesthesia which was published in July 2019. We named our group the “International Suspected Perioperative Allergy (ISPAR) Group”.
During the course of this academic collaboration we agreed that, because of the rarity of events and the different ways services are set up (or are absent) in different countries, the field needs to be tackled on a global scale. Furthermore, the multidisciplinary nature of the field means that we need a cross-disciplinary international forum that can work with national and international allergy and anaesthesia societies.
Over the past 3 years, the ISPAR Group has held 2 Annual Meetings and its membership has grown to include more than 270 colleagues from 46 countries.
We now invite further colleagues from allergy, anaesthesiology and immunology with an interest in perioperative allergy and hypersensitivity reactions to join us.
Membership of ISPAR is currently free. Join now to register your interest, to receive email updates and influence the development of the group.
