Description
Severe Allergic Reactions Can Be Life-Threatening—Are You Prepared?

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence to make your learning journey smooth, interactive, and enjoyable.

Anaphylaxisis a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur rapidly. In bothfood safetyand public health environments, understandinganaphylaxis, recognising triggers, and responding correctly is essential. Whether in schools, restaurants, or care homes, failure to managefood allergensproperly can lead to serious harm.

Have you ever felt unprepared to identify earlyanaphylaxis symptoms, unsure about using anadrenaline auto-injector (AAI), or concerned about cross-contamination risks in food settings? Without thoroughanaphylaxis awareness training, mistakes can put lives at risk and expose organisations tofood safety violationsor legal consequences.

At the very beginning, you’ll build a strong foundation inanaphylaxisandfood allergen awareness, exploring the science behind severe allergic reactions. You’ll understand the immune response, identify populations at risk, and learn commonanaphylaxis triggers. This section also addresses myths and misconceptions about allergies andanaphylaxis, giving you a clear, practical understanding of risks infood safetyand general settings.

After that, you’ll review thehighlights of foundational anaphylaxis knowledge, preparing you to recogniseearly signs and symptomsand implement effective preventative measures in any environment.

Next, you’ll focus on recognisinganaphylaxisand responding correctly in emergencies. You’ll learn to identify early warning signs and executeemergency response protocolseffectively. Key skills include using anadrenaline auto-injector (AAI), calling emergency services, and providing post-emergency care and monitoring.

Then, you’ll explore managing anxiety and panic in bystanders duringanaphylaxis incidents. This section ensures you are confident in responding safely and efficiently, supporting both the affected individual and your team while maintainingfood safetyand generalworkplace health standards.

After mastering emergency response, this section teaches proactiveanaphylaxis preventionand risk management. You’ll learn strategies to avoidfood allergens, create individual Allergy Management Plans (AMPs), conduct environmental risk assessments, and ensureAAI storage and accessibility. Documentation, record-keeping, and refresher training schedules are covered to maintain long-term compliance withfood safetyandanaphylaxis awarenessstandards.

Next, the focus shifts to schools, whereanaphylaxis managementis critical. You’ll explore allergy policies, staff responsibilities, and strategies to manage allergies during activities. Learn how to educate students, raise peer awareness, and create “No Allergen” environments. This section also covers parental communication and consent, ensuring comprehensivefood allergenandanaphylaxis safetypractices are embedded in educational settings.

Then, you’ll applyanaphylaxis awarenessto food establishments. Topics include understandingfood allergen laws, cross-contamination prevention, menu design, front-of-house staff training, customer declarations, and emergency kit readiness. By the end of this section, you’ll know how to implement effectivefood safetyprocedures and manageanaphylaxis risksin commercial kitchens and public dining areas.

Finally, you’ll exploreanaphylaxis management in care homes, including allergy care for elderly residents, care planning, dietary allergen management, and awareness of medication-induced reactions. You’ll learn to collaborate within multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) and regularly review allergy risks to maintain highfood safetyandanaphylaxis safetystandards.

By the end of this course, you will learn to:

Identifyanaphylaxis symptomsandfood allergen risksin all settings.

Respond effectively to emergencies using anadrenaline auto-injector (AAI).

Implementprevention and risk management strategiesforanaphylaxis.

Apply setting-specific procedures forschools, restaurants, and care homes.

Maintain highfood safety standardsand documentation compliance.

Educate staff, students, and residents to minimiseanaphylaxisrisks.

Enhance workplace safety through structuredanaphylaxis awareness training.
