Level 3 Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis

Level 3 Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis : 1 day course

An Anaphylactic shock, or anaphylaxis, is a life-threatening, serious allergic reaction to an allergen such as food substances or insect stings. If it is not treated appropriately, it may cause death. This training is for qualified First Aiders and Emergency First Aiders to enable them to recognise and treat anaphylaxis safely and effectively.

When administering a medication, it is important to recognise and differentiate between allergic reactions and the potentially life-threatening anaphylactic reactions immediately. It is also essential to determine whether the individual has had an allergic or anaphylactic response to the medication in the past or prior to administration.

This course is suitable for all First Aiders and healthcare professionals, as well as those in a high risk environment where such medication is available.

This is a classroom-based course of 6 contact hours.

The course is made up of practical and theoretical sessions delivered by your Instructor who will provide a detailed course programme.

This qualification lasts for 3 years. To renew the qualification, learners will need to retake the full course. However, it is recommended that during the 3-year period, the learners attend annual refresher courses.

A range of methods are used, including, practical and questioning (open and multiple-choice).

A maximum of 12 students can be accommodated on this course and all candidates must be a minimum of 16 years of age to qualify.
