This workshop is designed to refresh the skills and knowledge of those who currently hold a “Course in First Aid Management of Anaphylaxis”, “Provide an
emergency first aid response in an education and care setting” or equivalent qualification. Workshop content is based on the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) Action Plans and will refresh the skills required to recognise, treat and
manage a severe life threatening allergic reaction and correctly use adrenaline auto-injectors.
This workshop covers the following:
▪ Recognition of Anaphylaxis (Severe Allergic Reactions)
▪ Risk Assessment & Emergency Management
▪ Correct Use of adrenaline auto-injectors (e.g. Epipen)
▪ Policies & Procedures
*Workshops can be contextualized to suit your individual organizational needs
This workshop is delivered in the classroom over a ½ – 1 hour duration and can ussually be tagged onto an annual cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) workshop.
Upon successful completion of the workshop, participants will be able to confidently demonstrate knowledge of subject matter and will receive a Statement of Attendance for Professional Development within 10 business days.
Under the Children’s Services Regulations 2009, a childcare worker must have undertaken training in administration of the adrenaline auto injection device
and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at least every 12 months.
It is recommended that all staff members practise using the adrenaline auto injection devices quarterly, whether or not a child with anaphylaxis is enrolled and attending the service. For all other industries, All Health Training reccommends to complete an anaphylaxis refresher every 12 months.
The nationally recognised unit applies to all workers who may be required to provide a first aid response in a range of situations, include community and workplace settings and enables the correct first aid response to a casualty.
This skill set reflects the skill requirements to prepare for and provide medication assistance plus completion of medication documentation
The aim is to refresh your skills and knowledge, bringing you in line with current standards and procedures and is ideally suited for those students who completed the qualification but have not entered the workforce as a pathology collector.
