GERDA in few lines :

The scientific program will focus on current events and clinical practice. The topics covered will be numerous and varied: contact allergies, urticaria, atopic dermatitis, occupational allergies. We will also deal with toxidermia and its after-effects, mast cell disorders as well as the ocular effects of atopy.

For the first time, a forum for nurses, young (and not so young) allergists will be proposed in advance in order to exchange with conviviality on the practices of allergological tests and the organizations of the allergology units.

This course will take place at the Kindarena in Rouen which is located on the banks of the Seine and near the city center. This will allow you to discover Rouen, nicknamed "the city of a hundred steeples", its " Big Clock ", its half-timbered houses, its historical center, a real open-air museum, and of course its cathedral which inspired the impressionist painter Claude Monet.
