About this event
- Date and time Tue 16 Jan 2024 from 9:30am to 4:30pm
- Location Online
- Organised by Clinical Immunology and Allergy, British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology, GAP Network, British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition
Join us for a comprehensive virtual masterclass in the eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) diagnosis and management.
Our panel of experts will update you on the latest scientific evidence and discuss optimal clinical practice for the diagnosis and management of EoE, focusing on children and young adults. The meeting will emphasise the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to managing GI and multi-system allergic disease and help develop clinicians’ and other health professionals’ understanding of EoE in the evolution of allergic disease across childhood.
You will gain confidence in your understanding of:
- The epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical presentation of EoE in children and young people
- Diagnostic and management conundrums in children and young people presenting with feeding difficulties, dysphagia, and/or suspected EoE
- Recent guideline updates for the management of EoE patients and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach
- Future developments in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with EoE
- The overlap with EoE and multisystem allergic disease through childhood
We hope this session will increase your awareness and understanding of EoE in children and young adults and improve the care of these patients in both the community and hospital settings – “Think Eoe”!
