Anna (not real name), a highly reactive latex allergy sufferer, with previous intraoperative anaphylaxis to latex was extremely anxious about having surgery performed on her following her anaphylaxis in healthcare:

• She underwent a subsequent successful and reaction free gynaecological operation in a latex-safe theatre environment at her local Trust.
• Anna has re-gained confidence in being managed safely in healthcare as a patient following this experience and would be happy to undergo surgical/other medical intervention at the trust again, if required.
