Topic Summary
This activity is one of four modules that form the Allergy management in general practice masterclass.
This module outlines essential allergy management principles for GPs: recognising and treating anaphylaxis, understanding emerging food allergy treatments including oral immunotherapy and biologics, and differentiating true nasal obstruction from pressure / mucus symptoms in allergic rhinitis.
Learning Objectives
- Identify symptoms and demonstrate proper adrenaline administration protocols
- Evaluate patients for emerging therapies versus traditional avoidance
- Distinguish airflow obstruction from congestion, and prioritising medical management
CPD and Accreditation
This activity is accredited with the RACGP and ACRRM for 1.5 hours in the Educational Activities (EA) category.
