Calling all allergic residents
CAIRNS people allergic to a food or can’t take certain prescription medication are being sought by the National Allergy Council to improve their care.
Dr Katie Frith, co-lead for the National Allergy Council Shared Care for Allergy Project, said trying to access quality allergy care in the community, particularly in rural and remote areas, could be challenging.
“That is why the National Allergy Council is holding faceto-face sessions across Australia to bring people together to talk about how to improve access to allergy care, especially for people living in rural and remote areas,” she said.
The council wants to hear from:
• people living with an allergy or caring for someone with an allergy
• public hospital and health service staff
• healthcare professionals working in private practice
• primary health networks
• governments, health administrators, and
• other interested people or groups.
The council is coming to Cairns on Wednesday, May 10, from 9am-3pm.
