Healthed and ASCIA have collaborated to develop a free series of webcasts, in response to direct requests from GPs, to form the Healthed Masterclass on Allergy Management in General Practice.

The Masterclass is available at https://www.healthed.com.au/learning/allergy-management-in-general-practice-masterclass/

The aim of this Masterclass is to address key issues and knowledge gaps that GPs want assistance with:

• Topics include allergy testing, food allergies, anaphylaxis, urticaria, eczema, rhinitis, asthma and dust mites, presented by ASCIA members who are clinical immunolgy/allergy specialists and leading educators.
• The webcasts feature practically useful, up-to-date, and authoritative guidance on what to do about the common issues that health practitioners face in primary care.
• This masterclass will continually evolve to provide the latest insights and updates in the field of allergy and immunology. 

For fellows of the RACGP and ACRRM, Healthed will upload the CPD hours on behalf of Masterclass participants. Other health professionals can self-claim their CPD points.

This Masterclass is aligned with ASCIA's role in the National Allergy Council's Shared Care for Allergy project, to facilitate, provide and promote anaphylaxis and allergy clinical resources, education and training for health professionals,
