Asthma, Eczema and Other Allergies course
This session describes three important atopic diseases – asthma, eczema and anaphylaxis. All can profoundly affect a child’s health at school. The recognition and management of symptoms in the school environment will also be covered.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Summarise epidemiology, evolution, social impact and in school management of eczema
- Review epidemiology of asthma and non-stigmatising management in school settings
- Outline the extra issues and precautions for a child with difficult asthma
- Describe common allergies, use of antihistamines and appropriate non-stigmatising avoidance in school
- Describe the use of an adrenaline auto-injector (also known as an epinephrine pen)
