Event Agenda

Why Should Healthcare Professionals Attend This Study Day?

This CPD-accredited study day provides a concise, practical update on the evidence-based management of allergic conditions and key areas of women’s health, aligned with current UK guidance including NICE, BSACI, and national menopause and cardiovascular recommendations.

Designed for real-world primary care, the programme focuses on improving diagnostic accuracy, optimising treatment strategies, and delivering holistic, person-centred care across the life course.

Attendees will gain clarity on:

• Confident diagnosis and stepped management of common allergic conditions in primary care

• Safe and effective prescribing for allergic rhinitis, asthma overlap, and complex presentations

• Evidence-based menopause management, including cardiovascular risk considerations

• Hormonal management options and practical prescribing strategies

• Addressing multimorbidity and health inequalities in women’s health

Through expert-led teaching, workshops, and case-based discussions, clinicians will leave with immediately applicable tools to improve patient outcomes, avoid therapeutic inertia, and deliver safe, guideline-aligned care in both allergy and women’s health.

Key Benefits

• Strengthen confidence in diagnosing and managing allergic conditions in primary care

• Apply a structured, evidence-based approach to menopause and hormonal management
