This three day intensive course is now in its third year having run since 2008 with considerable success.

The primary aims of the course are to provide:
• an introduction to the immunology of allergy with emphasis on clinical relevance
• an understanding of the spectrum of childhood allergic disease and its presentation
• evidence-based strategies for diagnosis & treatment
• demonstrations of practical skills such as allergy testing and provocation challenges
• a foundation for clinical research or service development

Immunotherapy Practical Workshop
Date: Tuesday 5th October 2010
Audience: Allergy Specialists, GPs, Hospital Doctors, Paediatricians
There has been a huge growth of interest in this emerging area of allergy treatment but the biggest barrier to the development of new services is the inability of potential practitioners to obtain hands on experience in its use. This workshop will cover generic aspects of immunotherapy in a morning session (including mechanisms, safety and service development issues) and then split into two groups to cover practical aspects on Adult and Paediatric practice.
