ASCIA e-training feedback surveys - February 2023

ASCIA anaphylaxis, allergy and immunodeficiency e-training courses for health professional, schools, children’s education/care services and community are:

  • Accessible - online and free of charge
  • Consistent - used throughout Australia and New Zealand
  • Evidence based - courses are regularly reviewed and updated, in response to requests, recommendations, changes in clinical and academic expert consensus, new published literature and product updates..

To help ASCIA to continue improving these courses a short survey is now included at the end of each of the courses, which will only take a few minutes to complete. All information collected will be anonymous.  Improvements made as a result of feedback will be undertaken as part of ASCIA's involvement in the National Allergy Council (NAC) Share Care Model (SCM) project and the NAC Schools/Childcare project
