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
sudden feeling of weakness (drop in blood pressure)

Over the years I have attended many first aid courses, however after this one I feel I have gained the most knowledge and feel confident when dealing with any first aid. Thank you.

I wanted to let you know that in 22 years, this was by far the best first aid course I have ever been on. The trainer (Glenn Hulse) was really thorough, his explanations and demonstrations were clear, and the course was good value for money because he delivered more than the 12 full hours, no time was wasted, and I came away confident that I can cope in an emergency

Excellent three day first aid at work course Lead by Brian Denning. He’s an ex paramedic who’s served years on the Staffordshire ambulance teams so there’s not much he hasn’t seen or dealt with. The course was well balanced between practical tasks, videos, slideshows and conversation included plenty of anicdotes and stories of bryan dealing with actual emergencies as a PM. A very enjoyable course with the learning well paced for all. Absolutely first class and I have no reservation whatsoever in giving this company my strongest recommendation.

I completed a paediatric first aid course with Tom MacArthur a few weeks ago. Today my daughter was showing signs of meningitis with an extremely high temperature. I would like you to pass on my thanks to Tom for teaching me as well as he did because his voice was ringing in my ears telling what I should do, I remained calm and felt confident that I was able to manage the situation until the emergency services arrived. I have had first aid training in the past but none have been as effective, Tom is a real credit to your company. Please pass on my thanks to him, his training was invaluable to me today.
