“This resource includes access to an archive of Allergy Academy lectures relevant to allergic asthma. Lectures have been captured since since the start of 2010 and future lectures will be added as they are compiled. You need to register (at no additional cost) to gain access to the lecture archive. There are also links to educational material which may be helpful in the day to day management of patients with allergic asthma. We will be developing educational tools in the form of case presentations and self-assessments which will be available here soon. We have also listed references to some interesting papers relating to allergic asthma.”
