Webinar: Essentials in Food Allergy Management

Webinar: Essentials in Food Allergy Management

Food allergy management is rarely as simple as identifying a food and removing it from the diet. Which symptoms are truly suggestive of food allergy? When is allergy testing appropriate – and what does a positive result actually mean? How do we ensure that dietary restriction does not compromise nutritional adequacy, growth or quality of life?

With allergic diseases increasing globally and the evidence around prevention, diagnosis and management continuing to evolve, healthcare professionals need both sound knowledge and the confidence to translate that knowledge into practice.

During this one-hour webinar, Registered Dietitian Idonette van Zyl explores the essentials of food allergy management, from recognising different clinical presentations and interpreting allergy testing to conducting an allergy-focused assessment and providing individualised nutritional care. Practical considerations, useful tools and resources will help you translate current evidence into safer, more confident care for children and families living with food allergies.
