Anaphylaxis Awareness
Around 6% of UK adults, that’s roughly 2.4 million people, live with a confirmed food allergy. In addition, hospital admissions for anaphylaxis have more than doubled over the past 20 years, according to data from Anaphylaxis UK and the NHS.
This Anaphylaxis Awareness training course is designed to help you recognise and respond to life-threatening allergic reactions quickly and effectively. Whether you work in a school, childcare setting, healthcare, hospitality, or any public-facing role, this training can help you meet your first aid responsibilities and better protect those at risk.
Knowing how to use an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) and when to call for emergency help could save a life. This course supports your organisation’s first aid needs assessment and helps ensure staff are prepared to act in an emergency.
