Shared Care for Allergy Bulletin July 2023 - Edition 4
This is the 4th Edition of the Shared Care for Allergy Bulletin letting people know what is happening with the Shared Care for Allergy project.
The National Allergy Council is continuing to work alongside the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA), to progress the many different parts of the Shared Care for Allergy project.
Shared Care for Allergy consultation sessions
The Australia-wide engagement sessions have now been held. In-person meetings were held in Cairns, Brisbane, Hobart, Orange, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, with online meetings held for the Northern Territory, Regional Victoria, Australian Capital Territory and Regional Western Australia. An additional three online sessions were held for people living anywhere in Australia.
Thank you to all the community members, healthcare professionals, healthcare administrators and representatives from peak professional bodies who attended either in person or online to connect and share their thoughts and ideas on how things can be improved.
