More Allergens, Affecting More People
There is a growing number of people in the UK suffering with life threatening allergies (anaphylaxis). The substances to which they're reacting is growing too, and includes a wide variety of foods as well as non-food substances such as latex.
Responding quickly and correctly to anaphylactic shock is really important. That's where these two courses come in.
They provide skills beyond those taught in regular first aid courses to help you understand the triggers and symptoms of anaphylactic shock and give you the skills to deal with such emergencies quickly and effectively.
Our guide What is Anaphylaxis tells you lots more about the condition, it's signs, symptoms, and treatments and gives you a range of tips on how to reduce risks associated with it. Take a look at the guide for more details.
