Anaphylaxis Awareness

Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are potentially life threatening affecting more than one body system such as the airways, heart, circulation, gut and skin.
Symptoms can start within seconds or minutes of exposure to the food or substance you are allergic to and usually will progress rapidly.

Allergies affect approximately one in three of the UK population and each year numbers grow by 5% with as many as half of those affected being children.
Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction. Common causes are insect stings, foods and some medication. It is life threatening and requires immediate first aid (an auto-injector) and emergency medical assistance.

Our Anaphylaxis course focuses on the prevention, recognition and treatment of Anaphylaxis, including the use of auto-injectors and CPR.

If required, the course can be delivered at your work setting. Should you require one of our trainers to deliver this training at your workplace you have the flexibility of starting the course as early as you would like or alternatively you can request a later start on dates of your choice that suit you and your staff. We can even run the courses on the weekends or at night.

Each learner will receive a colourful, comprehensive first aid manual and first aid leaflets. Each learner will also receive a certificate that will be valid for 3 years.
