The case:

A 10 year old boy is referred for nutritional assessment and advice following an episode of anaphylaxis after eating muffin. He has a history of asthma and when he was a baby had eczema and an egg allergy which have both resolved. In this fascinating case where the anaphylaxis trigger is unknown, Vicki describes her management from diagnosis to ongoing care.

Watching this presentation and completing the assessment can contribute towards assessable Continuing Professional Development hours
