Nutricia are again providing another great opportunity for Healthcare Professionals to develop a greater understanding of Food Allergy and the Gut.
They have designed a study day in conjunction with The Hospital for Sick Children Great Ormond Street Paediatric Gastroenterology Department. It focuses on practical solutions for managing gastrointestinal symptoms of allergy in children.
Food allergy presents common symptoms such as diarrhoea, gastro-oesophageal reflux, feeding difficulties, and constipation. This practical course looks at ways to diagnose and manage this increasingly common problem.
It has been designed for General Paediatricians, Dietitians, GPs interested in allergy and Allergists. CPD accreditation has also be applied for.
