The Primary ( ) and Final () FRCA examinations require an extensive knowledge of allergy. We have therefore written a new educational resource section on the recognition, prevention and management of this condition. The tutorials have been tailored to the FRCA syllabus and we have also added some past questions relevant to these topics.
