Nighean Hannah from the NHS recently delivered a CPD event on managing severe allergies in schools.  Her PowerPoint which can be viewed here provided lots of useful information on:

• What anaphylaxis is
• Symptoms
• Types of reactions
• Causes and treatments
• Devices
• Management in schools
• What to do in an emergency

I found this a very useful learning experience and would recommend all staff to have a look at this.
