The Perioperative Allergy Network (PAN) was set up under the joint auspices of the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI), the British Society for Immunology Clinical Immunology Professional Network (CIPN), and the Association of Anaesthetists. It represents a formal collaboration between UK anaesthetists, allergists and immunologists with an interest in perioperative hypersensitivity and is supported by the Royal Colleges of Anaesthetists, Pathologists and Physicians. It is affiliated with the International Suspected Perioperative Allergic Reactions Group (ISPAR).
