Anaphylaxis Awareness

Overview

Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) can be life-threatening and require immediate first aid, including the use of an auto-injector and urgent medical help.

With one in three people in the UK affected by allergies—and cases rising by 5% annually—this course is essential for schools, workplaces, and care providers.

Children are particularly vulnerable, making it critical to include anaphylaxis training in your first aid needs assessment.
