What does it cover?
Highfield’s Anaphylaxis 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, for example, nuts and shellfish, latex and medicines, such as 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.
The Anaphylaxis and Autoinjector eLearning Short Course covers key areas including:
- Reactions to allergens
- Anaphylaxis
- An employee’s responsibility
- Adrenaline autoinjectors
- Common traits
