A coroner has warned a 'lack of national leadership' could lead to the deaths of more allergy sufferers after a 17-year-old aspiring doctor tragically died from anaphylaxis.
Heidi Connor has urgently called for the UK government to create a new role within the NHS in a bid to prevent further deaths.
She has written to the government citing three recent cases where people had died from anaphylaxis, stating the 'tragic' case of Alexandra Briess was 'not new territory'.
