Anaphylaxis Course

Anaphylaxis Course

This Anaphylaxis Course can either be a 2 hour or 3 hour (includes CPR) session and is ideal for anyone working in childcare or any workplace setting who may have to deal with those prone to anaphylaxis shock which is a severe form of
allergic reaction. Some of the most common triggers are nuts, dairy, citrus fruits, shellfish or any
kind of foods, insect stings or medication.

Our anaphylaxis course consists of theory and practical sessions of the correct use of an Epi-pen, Jext and Emerade and is delivered by a qualified Anaphylaxis Trainer. On successful completion our candidates will be awarded certification of knowledge and attendance which is recommended annually.

NOTE: From 1 October 2017 the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 will allow all schools to buy adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) devices without a prescription, for emergency use in children who are at risk of anaphylaxis, but their own device is not available or not working (e.g. because it is broken, or out-of-date). The school’s spare AAI should only be used on pupils known to be at risk of anaphylaxis, for whom both medical authorisation and written parental consent for use of the spare AAI has been provided. The school’s spare AAI can be administered to a pupil whose own prescribed AAI cannot be administered correctly without delay.
