Working in partnership with Health Education England has refreshed content in the Anaphylaxis elearning programme, developed to help health and care staff understand the causes, signs, and treatment of anaphylaxis.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life threatening event and people having an anaphylactic reaction often have changes to their airway, breathing and circulation, so it is vital that these signs are recognised and treated quickly.

Our Recognising and Managing Anaphylaxis session has recently been updated to aid understanding of the recognition and management of anaphylaxis in community and hospital settings. It includes the management of anaphylaxis in adults and children, further treatment in a hospital setting, blood tests and ongoing care for those who experience anaphylaxis.

An Introduction to Anaphylaxis is also available in the elearning programme.
