This Anapyhlaxis and Autoinjector short course is designed to

help you understand the risks of a severe allergic reaction and

how to administer emergency treatment.

 

The course outlines how anaphylaxis can be caused by a broad

range of ‘triggers’, such as insect stings, foods like

nuts and shellfish, latex, and medicines like penicillin.

 

Learners will also learn how to recognise the symptoms and

identify how to administer first aid to a casualty who is suffering

from anaphylaxis.
