Our online Paediatric Allergy Training series is designed to enhance your knowledge and confidence in managing children with food allergies and their comorbid allergic conditions.
To gain the full benefit from this unique series, we advise delegates to begin with PAT 1 and work through to PAT 3. The series will cover increasing complexity in allergy management through PAT 1, 2 and 3.
This is one of the best courses I have ever attended. The practical knowledge I gained is beyond all expectations.

This comprehensive PAT 1 course will take you through the practical aspects of recognising and managing paediatric allergy.
The faculty for the PAT series consists of a multi-disciplinary team of expert consultants, senior nursing staff, dietitians and GPs working in allergy care across the UK.
