EXPERT Q&As
The Allergy Team is fortunate to have the support of allergy experts, including consultants, nurses, dietitians and psychologists, who join us for regular presentations and Q&A sessions.
Typically, these hour-long webinars work like a conversation, with a member of The Allergy Team putting your questions to the expert in the hot seat. Sometimes we cover anything and everything and on other occasions, we focus on a particular topic.
You’ll find details of upcoming Q&As and webinars below… be warned, they book up fast!
If you are a member, please email us here to reserve your place or to access our library of past webinars.
