Did you know that in 2014, there were over
4,000 hospital admissions for anaphylaxis
in England?
Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening allergic
reaction, which requires immediate medical attention.
With the number of sufferers increasing each year, it is
extremely important to know what to do when faced
with this acute emergency condition.
The Level 3 Award in Basic Life Support and
Management of Anaphylaxis (RQF) qualification
has been designed for those who have a specific
responsibility at work, at home or in voluntary and
community activities, to provide basic life support
and manage anaphylaxis when dealing with an
emergency.
Successful candidates will be able to
recognise the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis,
and will be equipped with the vital skills needed to
administer safe, prompt and effective treatment.
