An information design project, exploring how complex information about false penicillin allergies can be translated into digestible and engaging content.
False penicillin allergies are an issue within the UK population – with 10% of the population believing they have a penicillin allergy and only 1% truly having a penicillin allergy. For pregnant women, who are given penicillin as a first-line antibiotic if required during pregnancy or birth, tackling false penicillin allergies in pregnant women is important. Without penicillin allergy testing available in the UK, this project explores an alternative way to approach educating pregnant women about this topic.
The following visual document takes you through both the topic of tackling false penicillin allergies and the design process for producing the hospital wall infographic:
