Anaphylaxis including Adrenaline Auto-Injector Training (epi-pen)

Max Persons: 15
Duration: 3 hours

Course Summary:

This course is suitable for any person who needs to be aware of the diagnosis and treatment of anaphylactic reactions.

What is Anaphylaxis?

Anaphylaxis is an extreme and severe allergic reaction. The whole body is affected, often within minutes of exposure to the allergen but sometimes after hours. The right Anaphylaxis training can make a huge difference to a person's recovery.

Common causes include foods such as peanuts, tree nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts, cashews, brazils), sesame, fish, shellfish, dairy products and eggs. Non-food causes include wasp or bee stings, natural latex (rubber), penicillin or any other drug or injection. In some people, exercise can trigger a severe reaction – either on its own or in combination with other factors such as food or drugs (e.g. aspirin).

What are the symptoms?

generalised flushing of the skin
nettle rash (hives) anywhere on the body
sense of impending doom
swelling of throat and mouth
difficulty in swallowing or speaking
alterations in heart rate
severe asthma
abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting

I feel more confident about my first aid than after previous courses I have been on. I'm impressed at how well Glenn coped with targeting content to a "Unique" team of people! He's a good sport!

Good afternoon, I just wanted to provide some feedback for you on the course that I completed yesterday with Brian at Calderfields. I know that some people are quick to complain about things, but you don’t always get feedback when things are done well. I’d just like to say thank you for your commitment to continuing to provide vital training even through this period of COVID restrictions. The way that Brian dealt with the situation and provide all the required training, under these circumstances, was a credit to you and the company. I felt very safe with the social distancing measures in place, and Brian found really inventive ways to allow us to feel confident with our responsibilities as first aiders, whilst ensuring our safety was a top priority. Thanks so much for your efforts and thanks to Brian especially for making it work. Kind regards Jo

I just wanted to say an extra thank you for a really fun and informative first aid course at our school yesterday. It was very refreshing to have a day of training that was fun and active, as well as delivering exactly what was needed. Both the trainers are fantastic at their job and were professional with the right amount of humour to sustain all our interest. Having done many training courses I would say this was one of the best I have attended and as a teacher myself I know it is not often that you get good feedback!

The trainer from First Response delivered a first class First Aid Course. The content was suitable for the age range of the children who attended (Young Carers) they were treated according to age and level of understanding. The trainer fully engaged the young carers throughout the course and placed an emphasis on doing the best they can and not to be afraid to try. The young carers went away with a good level of first aid skills. We would thoroughly recommend this course.
