Anaphylaxis training is a matter of life and death, Anaphylaxis is a rapid, life threatening over reaction by the bodies immune system to a trigger. Common triggers are medications, seafood, nuts, and diary. The list is not exhaustive.
The only lifesaving treatment that can be given to a person is Adrenaline injected into the persons thigh, without delay.
Anaphylaxis training via E Learning is not appropriate for those that need to respond to an Anaphylaxis emergency such as school teachers, nursery staff and medical professionals.
Simply put E Learning does not equip you with the practical skills required and Regulators such as the Department for Health DO Not allow E-learning in place of Practical Training for Anaphylaxis.
Schools must arrange specialist anaphylaxis training for staff where a pupil in the school has been diagnosed as being at risk of anaphylaxis. The specialist training should include practical instruction in how to use the different AAI devices available. Online resources and introductory e-learning modules can be found although this is NOT a substitute for face-to-face training.
Guidance on the Use of Adrenaline Auto Injectors in SchoolsDepartment of Health (2015)
Allergy training E Learning is for food manufacture to give staff an awareness of common triggers, it is not intended for those who need to respond to a person suffering a life-threatening Anaphylactic reaction with only moments to react.
The last thing you want to do in this situation is trying to recall a E learning subject you may have skimmed through, get trained correctly and professionally by those who know.
