Anaphylaxis for Schools - Online Training Course - Level 2 - CPDUK Accredited.
Welcome to our online Anaphylaxis Training for Schools course for front-line healthcare and social care providers. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. The good news is that even the most severe form of allergy is manageable. The vast majority of the children affected are happily accommodated in mainstream schools thanks to excellent communication between parents, school staff, doctors and education authorities. With sound precautionary measures and support from the team, school life may continue as usual for all concerned.

Why is this Anaphylaxis for Schools course important?
Every school, nursery or early years setting is likely to have at least one pupil who is severely allergic to a type of food, and many schools will have more. All teachers, nursery staff and others who work with children must have appropriate training to enable them to recognise and manage severe allergic reactions in schools and community settings.
For many children, the symptoms of allergy are mild. However, occasionally, the symptoms are severe and may even be life-threatening. The common causes of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) include foods such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, sesame seeds and kiwi fruit. Non-food causes of anaphylaxis include wasp or bee stings, natural latex (rubber) and drugs such as penicillin.
Our online Anaphylaxis for Schools course was designed to ensure that key members of staff in schools are fully aware of the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, how to provide emergency treatment and the implications for the management of severely allergic children from Key Stages 1 to 5 in an education setting.
