Have you registered for this symposium on optimising the patient experience at each stage of their food allergy journey? According to estimates, approximately 11 to 26 million Europeans suffer from food allergies with an estimated global prevalence of 240 to 550 million food-allergic individuals1. This live symposium will provide insight into emerging approaches to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of food allergies. Discover diagnostic strategies that may improve the patient experience, learn about new therapeutic approaches and explore how these strategies may reduce some of the anxiety associated with strict avoidance diets in patients with food allergies. During the event, you will be able to participate in a Q&A session and listen to a panel discussion in which experts provide insights based on their own clinical experience.
