Allergy Academy Courses in Immunotherapy
Allergy Academy Courses in Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy continues to represent one of the most exciting areas in the field of allergy as one of the few disease modifying management options. Doctors now have the potential to give their patients access to both subcutaneous and sublingual desensitisation products for different pollens, insect venoms and a number of non-pollen allergens.
This study day is split into a morning and afternoon sessions: ‘Immunotherapy – a practical workshop’ and ‘Current opinion in Immunotherapy’ respectively.
**Delegates can choose to attend the whole day or either half-day.
“Immunotherapy - A Practical Workshop” (Morning session)
This interactive morning session will see the group split into adult and paediatric streams for a highly practical workshop covering both subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy.
