EXPERT INSTRUCTOR

This course consists of two detailed units:

Unit 1: Food Allergies – IgE and Non-IgE Mediated Reactions
In this unit, participants will explore the mechanisms behind food allergies, focusing on IgE-mediated reactions such as anaphylaxis and non-IgE-mediated reactions like food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). The unit covers diagnostic techniques, including the use of skin prick tests, and offers insight into managing allergic conditions through exclusion diets and food reintroduction protocols. Prevention strategies, such as early allergen exposure, are also discussed, especially in the context of eczema and food allergies in children.

Unit 2: Food Intolerances and Non-Immune-Mediated Reactions
This unit covers food intolerances, distinguishing them from allergies, and explains non-immune-mediated reactions to certain foods, such as pharmacological food chemical reactions. Participants will learn how to identify and manage common intolerances, such as reactions to salicylates, histamines, and artificial food additives. Practical guidance on using elimination diets to diagnose and manage intolerances is also provided.

This course equips healthcare professionals with essential tools to effectively manage food allergies and intolerances, enhancing patient care and improving health outcomes.

What your colleagues say

"I would recommend this course as an important addition to self-directed learning in dermatoscopy. It was an invaluable course to gain the diagnostic tools, knowledge and confidence in managing skin cancer. The course was professionally conducted with excellent presentations."

- L. Suntesic Nurse

"Excellent! This is a great course that has helped me diagnose many more subtle, early skin cancers especially melanoma in situ. The course was clearly presented, with good pictures and course book. All HealthCert's skin cancer courses have been hugely valuable to my practice!"

- R. Mundell Nurse

"An excellent course introduction to dermoscopy and relating what you see to the histopathology and applying this in clinical practice. Great lectures and supporting materials."

- S. Jan Nurse

"I really enjoyed the level of learning. It is very rewarding to know that I am potentially saving lives. Recently I volunteered with the Lions Cancer Institute for two days, and we screened 158 patients, detected 38 possible melanomas and 83 keratinocyte skin cancers. It was a very successful and rewarding two days, and something I could do confidently because of my learning from this course."

- K. Laverty Nurse

"I highly recommend this course. I increased my knowledge and developed confidence in using dermoscopy and in diagnosing melanoma and other skin lesions. Every skin lesion I see means so much more now that it has a name. Great involvement from various skin cancer experts and great videos and reference materials."

- P. Ishri Nurse
