Level 3 Award in the Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction. It is a life-threatening reaction to an allergen, such as food, drugs or insect stings.
This 6-hour course is suitable for all First Aiders and any other professionals or office staff that may have the responsibility of the unassigned auto-injector within the school.
Adrenaline is a controlled drug, therefore, it is important to ensure that it is appropriately stored, administered and disposed of. Delegates will understand and recognise the difference between an allergic reaction and the potential life threatening anaphylactic shock.
A 2-hour workshop course can be found in the bespoke menu (ANAPHYLAXIS & ASTHMA TRAINING). This will not yield a qualification.
