VIRSEC Anaphylaxis: Awareness and Treatment

Course information

Target group:

This course has been designed to inform people who employ, supervise or work with people who suffer from extreme allergic reactions. The course would also be beneficial for anybody who works in the food industry, parents, teachers, carers, or anyone who supervises young or vulnerable people.

Description:

Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction. The most common anaphylactic reactions are to foods, insect stings, medications, and latex. If you are allergic to a substance, your immune system overreacts to this allergen by releasing chemicals that cause allergy symptom.

 

From the moment you know or suspect that you or someone else has ingested an allergen, action must be taken immediately. Even mild symptoms can quickly progress to a severe reaction, or anaphylaxis. You should be watchful and prepared to give medication (adrenaline / epinephrine). It is important for every person with life-threatening food allergies to have an individualised food allergy action plan.

 

Properly managed, identified and treated, anaphylactic shock need not be a life-threatening condition.

 

This course provides you with training and awareness in this potentially severe and life-threatening allergic reaction. This course can be used for induction training, general information & knowledge, refresh training or basic training, with the aim to create a safe environment for all people with allergies.
