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.
