More about this course
- Penicillin allergy labels are associated with significant impacts on patients and health systems, such as longer hospital stays and increased antimicrobial resistance. Around 15% of inpatients are labelled as penicillin allergic, however, over 95% of them are falsely labelled and can tolerate penicillins.
- This three-week course will enhance your skills in assessing and managing patients with a suspected penicillin allergy, and approaching false penicillin allergy labels.
- You'll begin by understanding the distinction between an allergy and intolerance to penicillin. This includes learning about the types of hypersensitivity reactions and the mechanisms of true penicillin allergy.
- You'll also explore the categorisation of penicillin allergies and the identification of at-risk patients.
- The course will enable you to assess and manage patients with suspected penicillin allergies.
- You'll learn to risk stratify patients based on their penicillin allergy history and correctly document their allergy status.
- By understanding the role of the "non-specialist" in penicillin allergy delabelling, you'll have the skills to offset the negative impacts of penicillin allergy labels.
- Finally, you'll explore real-world case studies that highlight the importance of antimicrobial stewardship.
- This will provide insights into the global response to penicillin allergy and how to apply this to your own healthcare context.
- By the end of this course, you'll understand penicillin allergy assessment and delabelling, enhancing your career as a healthcare professional.
