Primary Care Paediatric Allergy Training (repeat event)

The Children and Young Peoples Allergy Network Scotland (CYANS) is running free GP allergy training sessions. The training consists of two compulsory parts, worth 5 CPD credits, and is delivered by local allergy specialists.

​

1st part: Online allergy training package, developed by the Anaphylaxis campaign will take approximately 3-5 hours of study time, to be completed before the face to face training.
 
2nd part: Face to face study day delivered by local allergy specialist clinicians (CPD accredited). The day is designed to continue the learning from the online package, provide practical skills and resources for you to use in your clinical practice and give you the chance to ask the specialists questions and network with other clinicians with an interest in allergy from your local area.
