Allergy

Credits: 30
Duration: 6 months
Notional study time: 300 hours (including time to study learning materials, attend study days and complete assignments)
This new interactive course is designed for healthcare professionals who wish to develop their skills in Allergy. Allergy is considered the leading environmental disease affecting 1 in 3 people in the UK. It can affect several different organ systems including the skin, lungs, nose and gut and can result in anaphylaxis, yet there are very few health professionals who have received training in this area. The course teaches you how to recognise allergy in each organ system and design management strategies which will improve patient's lives significantly. The course covers history taking skills and diagnosis, including skin prick testing, and equips you with the knowledge and training to provide an effective primary care led allergy service.
For this eLearning course of study, please check out the IT System Requirements you will need in order to access our eLearning materials.
Delivery method: eLearning (supported by 2 study days and 1 assessment day)
Assessment method: Includes 2 hour unseen written exam, practical assessment plus 3,000 word assignment.
