Rhinitis Matters: Recognising and Managing Allergic Rhinitis in Children

This is a promotional meeting organised and funded by Glenmark and is intended for UK healthcare professionals only. There is no cost associated with attending this event.

This practical, evidence-based webinar is designed for primary care healthcare professionals involved in the assessment, management and prescribing of allergic rhinitis in patients of all ages. The session will provide guidance on recognising and diagnosing allergic rhinitis, differentiating it from other causes of rhinitis, and applying current national guidance to support effective, patient-centred management. It will also cover allergy testing, pharmacological treatment, referral pathways and the role of allergen immunotherapy.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Increase their knowledge and understanding of allergic rhinitis, including common symptoms, triggers and its impact on patients of all ages.

• Recognise the typical clinical presentations of allergic rhinitis and distinguish it from other causes of rhinitis.

• Understand who should be investigated and when allergy testing is appropriate, including the role and limitations of available allergy tests.

• Apply current national guidelines to the assessment and management of allergic rhinitis in primary care.

• Understand appropriate treatment pathways and develop a structured approach to managing allergic rhinitis according to symptom severity and patient needs.

• Improve knowledge of pharmacological management, including the appropriate use of antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids and combination therapies.

• Recognise when referral to secondary or specialist allergy/ENT services is appropriate, including key referral criteria and red flags.

• Understand the role of allergen immunotherapy in the management of allergic rhinitis, including appropriate patient selection, indications, contraindications and referral pathways.

• Apply learning to clinical practice to support consistent, evidence-based and patient-centred management of allergic rhinitis in primary care.
