LET’S TALK ALLERGY Seminar
We had our top allergy experts in PE for a very informative allergy seminar on the 16th and 17th September, #bridging the gap between, nurses, pharmacists, general practitioners, dieticians, patient advocates and patients in this very unique two-day morning sessions.
Further to the educational allergy sessions run by our allergy specialists, we also facilitated practical demonstrations on both days – covering how to use your nasal sprays properly, how to use your asthma device and all the different devices, peak follow testing, how to use an autoinjector, how skin pricks tests work and much more. All delegates had their aero skin prick testing at the end and it was great to see the keen learning interest.
We had wonderful feedback from our delegates and we would like to thank them for attending this unique educational experience. Congratulations to all the lucky draw winners who walk away with allergy books, allergy badges, allergy bands and allergy T-Shirts and we thank Mylan for the great delegate goody bags!
