Anaphylaxis & Allergy Training for Schools & Carers

CPD - Anaphylaxis & Allergy Training for Schools & Carers

This Anaphylaxis & Allergy Training for Schools & Carers course offers you practical guidance on allergy management and explains how to offer comprehensive support to children with allergies. It explains how allergies are triggered, what to look out for with allergic reactions, and how to monitor and treat children with allergies.

It’s estimated that 50% of children in the UK now have an allergic condition of some sort and whilst some can be much less dangerous than others, all must be taken seriously, especially in schools. Between 6 and 8% of children in the UK also have a proven food allergy, meaning the chances of these children having an anaphylactic shock is very high. Due to the high number of children now having allergic conditions, allergy and anaphylactic shock training are becoming essential for those working in childcare.

This course covers allergens, preventative measures, what to do in emergencies and cases of anaphylaxis, and discusses both the practical and emotional support a child may need on a daily basis.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Learn the step-by-step emergency procedure in response to an anaphylactic shock
