The Foundations of Allergic Disease module provides the fundamental scientific, clinical, and academic basis that you will build on throughout your studies. Throughout the module, you will explore topics by interpreting clinical scenarios to reinforce your learning.

You will learn about normal immune responses and how these are modified in allergic disease. We explore the foundations of clinical allergy, starting with the cornerstone of taking an allergy-focused history and diagnostic testing. We will discuss the impact of allergic disease on quality of life through first-hand patient perspectives. Skin prick testing and medical devices used for the management of allergic disease will be explained and demonstrated.
