Anaphylaxis UK, the UK’s only charity solely dedicated to supporting people living with serious allergies, has launched a brand-new training course for school nurses, alongside a refreshed version of its popular course for healthcare professionals.
With up to 8% of students (around 1-2 per class) living with food allergies and 20% of allergic reactions occurring in school, it’s never been more important for education staff to be prepared.
The new AllergyWise® for School Nurses equips school-employed nurses and Allergy Specialist Nurses with the knowledge and resources to train school staff in allergy management and emergency response.
The course is delivered in two parts:
- Part 1: Background knowledge on allergies and anaphylaxis, including signs and symptoms, administering and storing adrenaline, and developing safe management practices in schools.
- Part 2: Practical guidance and resources to support nurses in delivering training to school staff, featuring interactive modules, quizzes, and a final competency assessment.
The course also highlights inclusivity and safeguarding, helping schools foster supportive environments for all children.
Updated AllergyWise® for Healthcare Professionals
Anaphylaxis UK has also relaunched its AllergyWise® for Healthcare Professionals course. This updated programme is designed for nurses, health visitors, and other healthcare professionals working in community and clinical settings. It provides essential knowledge on allergy and anaphylaxis management, aligned with the latest clinical guidance and best practice.
