Anaphylaxis Training for Nurses

Anaphylaxis is increasing across all healthcare settings, and nurses are often the first healthcare professional called upon to recognise and respond. Early identification and management are critical, yet many nurses report uncertainty in recognising evolving symptoms and applying guidelines in their role. This anaphylaxis training is designed specifically to meet the needs of the registered nurse and builds clinical understanding through structured e-learning in a modular online format.

What do doctors say about our training?

"Extremely valuable course from an experienced clinician. I appreciate the thorough discussion of pathophysiology, and found the case studies to be especially interesting and informative. I didn't realise how much I didn't know, especially how anaphylaxis can be so subtle and variable. I highly recommend this to anyone who may need to manage anaphylaxis in their practice."

What we will cover:

Foundations: In Module 1 we will discuss the foundations of anaphylaxis including what is anaphylaxis, how is it triggered and how is it mediated.
Pathophysiology: In Module 2 we will discuss the pathophysiology of anaphylaxis, exploring the main four pathways and processes.
Diagnosis: In Module 3 we will discuss how to diagnose anaphylaxis and differentiate it from a simple allergic reaction and our other differential diagnoses.
Management: In Module 4 we will comprehensively cover the various aspects of the management of anaphylaxis, including the 7-step process, necessary equipment, and special considerations such as children, pregnant patients, and cardiac arrests.
Case studies: In Module 5 we will discuss 19 real case studies, mostly of anaphylaxis, but with simple allergy and the relevant differential diagnoses as well.
