Guidelines for assessing and managing penicillin allergy in the community
As part of a new Australian campaign commencing in late October this year, patients will be encouraged to discuss their penicillin allergy with their GP. Are you ready for that conversation?
Less than 10% of people labelled "penicillin allergic" are truly allergic when tested. A confirmed penicillin allergy can follow a patient for decades, driving unnecessary use of broader-spectrum antibiotics that are often less effective, cost more and add to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance.
New Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) guidelines, support GPs to confidently assess and manage penicillin allergy in the community, so patients can access the right antibiotic when they need it most.
Join us for a health professional webinar presented by Clinical Professor Michaela Lucas that will cover:
• Why confirming penicillin allergy matters
• How to delabel patients in general practice
• Taking an effective allergy history, identifying low-risk patients and knowing when to refer to a specialist
• Accurately documenting drug allergy information in patient health records • Having confident conversations with patients about penicillin allergy
• Where to find the ASCIA guidelines, e-training and supporting resources
Join us in making penicillin allergy assessment part of everyday care so that more patients can access the right antibiotic, and together we strengthen antimicrobial stewardship across the health system.
About the presenter:
Clinical Professor Michaela Lucas is a Clinical Immunologist/Immunopathologist at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Perth Children's Hospital and PathWest Laboratory Medicine in Perth, Western Australia. She oversees paediatric and adult drug allergy services across two major hospitals and co-leads the National Allergy Council's drug allergy project, through which the penicillin allergy guidelines were developed. Michaela is also a past president of ASCIA and the current Co-Chair for the Drug Allergy Stream for the National Allergy Centre of Excellence (NACE), bringing deep clinical and leadership expertise in allergy and immunology to this session.

What gets in the way of culturally safe and inclusive care?
Bias is a normal part of being human. Yet even with the best intentions, it can act as a barrier to culturally safe and inclusive care, particularly when it is difficult to recognise or challenging to respond to.
Join MHPN for a free, CPD-accredited webinar exploring how practitioners can better understand bias, recognise when it may be influencing care, and respond in ways that support culturally safe and inclusive care. Attendees will gain practical insights from diverse perspectives that support reflection, challenge assumptions and strengthen collaboration across disciplines, while building confidence to engage with discomfort and uncertainty as opportunities for growth and ongoing learning.
Flexible screenings at 2pm and 7pm AEST on Wednesday 23rd September 2026.
