Allergy Help Course
Dr Helen Evans-Howell – comprehensive and practical knowledge, equipping you with the tools and strategies that you need to effectively manage allergies.
“Although I have been on this allergy journey for 14 years, I am still learning, you can’t absorb all you need to know in your allergy appointments. April has more allergies than Sadie, and her reactions have been different. I thought I knew the signs but when April had her first reaction, she behaved differently and it was so scary. Thankfully we knew how to use the adrenaline pens and felt we knew when to give it to her.
“I joined Dr Helen’s Allergy courses to refresh my brain. I learnt so much including more about the mechanism of how the body reacts. She explained it so simply and yet it felt like I was being given secret medical information that only the doctors know.
“If you have an opportunity to do the whole course or just a module I thoroughly recommend it. The expertise and opportunity to have these experts at your finger tips is truly fantastic.” Clare Bristow
New courses that will cover four age ranges – preschool, primary, secondary age and adults. Sign up for the one which suits your needs.
