Allergy & Immunology Series – managing common allergies

On-demand recorded 5 May 2020

Allergic diseases are common in Australia affecting around 20% of the population. With the current COVID-19 pandemic limiting the ability for face-to-face education, the planned one-day allergy and immunology face-to-face workshop has been broken down into a four-part webinar series. Topics include allergy testing, managing common allergic presentations, urticaria and managing food allergy in neonates and children.

This webinar, the second in the series, is on managing common allergic presentations and is facilitated by Dr Scott Preston, and presented by Dr Aaron Chambers. It covers evidence-based approaches to managing common allergies, including dust mite, and current and emerging options for managing allergic rhinitis. It also includes a discussion on immunotherapy.
