Webinar: Know it. Treat it.: Taking control of anaphylaxis
What the webinar is about: When a severe allergic reaction happens, you need to act promptly. But knowing what to look for — and how to respond — can make all the difference. Join us for an interactive session with Dr. Wade Watson who will use a scenario-based approach to help you build your skills and confidence in identifying and treating anaphylaxis.
Dr. Wade Watson
We’ll break down the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, clarify when and why to use epinephrine instead of antihistamines like Benadryl®, and give you the tools to act quickly and confidently. You will also be presented with different scenarios to test your knowledge. This will be followed by a Q&A, where you can ask your questions.
Who is presenting: Dr. Wade Watson is a Professor of Pediatrics, Dalhousie University, Head of the Division of Allergy, IWK Health Centre, and Chair of the Specialty Committee, Clinical Immunology and Allergy, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Dr. Watson is also a member of our Healthcare Advisory Board.
