A practical 2 hours workshop that gives you the confidence to recognise and manage a severe allergic reaction, including the safe use of EpiPen and Jext auto-injectors. Ideal for schools, nurseries, food businesses and carers in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that can develop within seconds or minutes of exposure to a trigger such as certain foods, insect stings, medicines or latex. When it happens, knowing what to do — and doing it quickly — can save a life. Our 2 hours Anaphylaxis Training course in Newcastle upon Tyne gives you the practical knowledge and hands-on confidence to act decisively in an emergency.
This is a focused, interactive session built around real-world response. You will learn to recognise the signs and symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, understand common triggers, and practise using adrenaline auto-injectors — including EpiPen and Jext trainer devices — so you leave confident with the technique. We also cover when and how to call 999 and how to care for someone until help arrives.
The course runs at Pottery Bank Community Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, or we can deliver it on site at your own premises for groups. On-site group sessions are from £395 for up to 15 learners. Every attendee receives a Skills Training Group certificate valid for 3 years.
This course is designed for anyone who may need to respond to a severe allergic reaction, whether at work, in the community or at home. No previous first aid experience is required.
It is especially valuable for those caring for vulnerable people, such as children, where a fast, confident response can be critical.
This is a practical, hands-on session. You will spend time practising the auto-injector technique on EpiPen and Jext trainer (dummy) devices, so you leave able to act with confidence rather than just having heard about it. The trainer assesses your technique on the day as part of the course.
On successful completion you will receive a Skills Training Group certificate in Anaphylaxis Awareness, valid for 3 years. We recommend refresher training before your certificate expires to keep your skills and knowledge current.
