We would like to thank Dr Meshandree Naidoo for facilitating the allergy and awareness training at the Saheti School Nurses conference – which was held on 16-18 August 2019.  50 school nurses attended the conference – mostly from South Africa with representatives from Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Mozambique.  All in all, it was a very successful event.

On Saturday 31 August 2019, Prof Claudia Gray facilitated allergy and awareness training at the ‘Not Just a Teacher’ conference in Cape Town.  The teachers were eager for information and the training was very well received.  Approximately 200 teachers attended the conference – representing 36 schools. A heartfelt thanks to Prof Claudia Gray for representing AFSA and ALLSA . We thank Mylan who kindly sponsored Epipen trainer pens – vital for the demonstration – and for donating trainer pens to all schools – they were most grateful.
