Participant Monika for Urticaria Course

"So so thankful I found this Masterclass. Despite having had Urticaria for years, I thought I knew it all. I was wrong. This course truly helped me. The "treatment options" module and the frequently asked questions from the consultation sessions were particularly helpful. Everyone suffering from chronic Urticaria should take part in this." 
Monika, participant in the German version of the Masterclass on "Chronic Urticaria"

Why is the Urticaria Masterclass a Game-Changer for Patients?

"Studies have shown that better informed patients have better healing progression."

David, Leonie, as founders of the Urticaria Masterclass, what inspired you to create this Masterclass?

David: Our inspiration came from a personal place. Seeing loved ones struggle with Chronic Urticaria without adequate support or information drove us to create a platform where patients could gain not just knowledge, but empowerment.

Leonie: Yes, and we wanted to make sure that the information provided was not only comprehensive but also actionable. We believe knowledge is power, especially when it comes to managing health conditions.

Can you tell us what makes the Urticaria Masterclass unique compared to other information sources about Chronic Urticaria?

Leonie: Absolutely. This Masterclass goes beyond the standard information you might find online. It's not just about understanding Chronic Urticaria; it's about diving deep into current treatment options, what's forthcoming in medical research, and learning practical everyday strategies to improve your quality of life. This course is about empowering patients with evidence-based information from a world-renowned expert, who has treated thousands of Urticaria patients.

Who would benefit the most from attending this Masterclass?

Leonie: This Masterclass is designed for anyone affected by Chronic Urticaria, whether newly diagnosed or those who have been managing their condition for years. Healthcare providers looking to update their knowledge on the condition may also find this valuable.

What can participants expect to learn from this Masterclass?

David: Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of their condition, exploring all facets of Chronic Urticaria. More importantly, they'll learn actionable strategies to manage their condition, with the goal of enhancing their life quality. The focus is on evidence-based information and practical tips that have proven effective through extensive trials and agreement in the Urticaria community.

Tell us. . how were you able to convince Prof. Maurer to take part in this Masterclass?

Leonie: It was a combination of shared vision and persistence. We reached out to Prof. Maurer with a detailed proposal highlighting our mission to empower Urticaria patients through education. We shared our research and success stories from individuals who benefited from being better informed about their condition.

David: Prof. Maurer is passionate about patient education and improving lives, which resonated with our goals. It's truly a partnership built on mutual respect and a common purpose. And it might have helped a little bit, that my sister works in Prof. Maurer's Urticaria department as a medical doctor - and is now also part of the Urticaria Masterclass! 

How can people sign up for the Urticaria Masterclass, and what should they expect once they do?

Leonie: Signing up is straightforward— just visit our website and register for the Masterclass. Once enrolled, participants get access to our German course with full English subtitles, offering a holistic overview of all treatment options for the various conditions of Chronic Inducible and Chronic Spontaneous / Idiopathic. Participants have access to comprehensive video modules, Q&A sessions, and resources that will guide them towards a better understanding and management of Chronic Urticaria. 

Thank you, David and Leonie, for sharing your vision and efforts in making the Urticaria Masterclass a reality. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this will have on many lives.

Thank you for this interview to medical journalist Jutta Seitz.
