Anaphylaxis First Aid Training

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that comes on suddenly and can affect many parts of the body at once. It can be triggered by exposure to a specific allergen such as insect stings, medications or certain foods. Symptoms often begin with swelling of the throat or tongue, which can quickly lead to breathing difficulties. Other signs can include a sudden rash, light-headedness or extreme fatigue.

Anaphylactic shock can affect anyone, regardless of age. Due to its sudden onset, anaphylaxis can be life-threatening, and it’s vital that first aiders and those responsible for care in a workplace environment are able to quickly recognise the causes and symptoms and understand how to respond in the event of a severe allergic reaction.

This course is ideal for anybody responsible for the safety of others – especially in the childcare sectors. A trained first-aider can not only respond quickly but understand the individuals in a workplace who are at a higher risk of anaphylaxis and help prevent exposure to triggers.
