Urgent update: MC Perioperative Hypersensitivity 2020 postponed to 2021
After careful analysis of the coronavirus outbreak in Italy and following information from local authorities, we have decided to postpone MC Perioperative Hypersensitivity 2020 to the first half of 2021. EAACI considers the health and safety of all participants its top priority.
In case you have already paid the registration fee for attending MC Perioperative Hypersensitivity 2020, EAACI would like to offer you two options:
1.Transfer your registration to the next MC Perioperative Hypersensitivity. Your registration will be kept active and will be valid for MC Perioperative Hypersensitivity 2021.
2.Cancel your MC Perioperative Hypersensitivity 2020 participation and get a full refund of your registration fee. Please kindly note that EAACI is not responsible for reimbursing costs for travel, accommodation, or any other costs. If you have a travel insurance, please contact your insurer for more information.
EAACI would appreciate it if you choose option 1.
Please kindly send your preference to events@eaaci.org by 15 May 2020.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you. This is an exceptional measure as Italy is specifically affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
All our other EAACI events are scheduled to proceed as planned. EAACI will continue to closely monitor the situation and will provide regular updates to our delegates.
If you have any queries, please contact events@eaaci.org.
Educational Aims
Participants will gain a contemporary understanding of the clinical presentation, common causes and diagnostic work-up of patients referred for the investigation of perioperative hypersensitivity. The Master Class faculty will focus on the importance of collaboration between allergists/immunologists and anesthesiologists and will include absolute experts in the field presenting the latest evidence and their own practical experiences.
Expected learning outcomes
This Master Class will allow the attendees to adopt a more focused and accurate approach to the investigation of patients who present with suspected perioperative hypersensitivity. Knowledge gained will therefore lead to the safer management of such patients. This Master Class will facilitate international exchange of clinical experience and encourage collaboration between allergists/immunologists and anaesthesiologists.
Target Audience
This Master Class is intended primarily for clinicians (Allergists/immunologists, Anesthesiologists) with some experience in investigating patients with perioperative hypersensitivity, who want to expand their knowledge and improve their management of these complicated patients. Junior Members' participation will also be encouraged.
There is a lot of international focus on perioperative hypersensitivity due to the EAACI task force and position paper on perioperative hypersensitivity and a recent worldwide collaboration between experts in both allergy and anaesthesiology.
We look forward to welcoming you in Verona, Italy!
