This course is a half- day training programme in the use of an adrenaline auto-injector; it allows participants to achieve a basic competency in responding to anaphylactic shock. It is assessed by the tutor on the day. Candidates at the end of the course have achieved a competent standard in the administration of adrenaline auto-injector and recognise how to manage the condition. The use of adrenaline auto-injector is becoming more common and a requirement for an organisation that may have a need to use this equipment within its day-to-day operation.
Candidates will have an EpiPen and anaphylactic safety certificate that is valid for 1 year.
