Anaphylaxis & Epipen Training

Course Overview

Anaphylaxis is a serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can affect the entire body, often within minutes of exposure to an allergen, but sometimes hours later.

Our training highlights the key differences between allergies and intolerances, equipping participants with the knowledge needed to support both children and adults.

We also cover methods of avoiding allergens, discuss individual care plans, and ensure participants know how to safely store and use adrenaline auto-injectors.
