The Essentials course is ideal for those practitioners who prefer a condensed course, whereas the Understanding course is for those who enjoy a more comprehensive discussion with extended clinical content..
The difference is in the amount of background information, pathophysiology and clinical application including the number of case studies that are included. The Understanding anaphylaxis course has 19 case studies whereas the Essentials has 5 cases studies.
Both courses cover the ASCIA Acute Management of Anaphylaxis Guidelines for Health Care Professionals which are the peak body guidelines as well as the 7 steps for managing anaphylaxis.
Participants will learn how to apply this knowledge to the diagnosis of anaphylaxis, differentiating it from simple allergic reactions and other differential diagnoses. The management of anaphylaxis is also thoroughly covered, including necessary equipment, and special considerations for children, pregnant patients, and cardiac arrests.
These courses consists of a 5-module PowerPoint presentation with narration, along with supporting resources including an Anaphylaxis Management Form.
The modules cover the foundations of anaphylaxis, including the current guidelines, triggers, and mediation processes. The course then delves into the pathophysiology, exploring the mediators of inflammation and the four pathological processes that result in the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis before discussing making a diagnosis and management. The final module is devoted to case studies. See samples videos below
What do people say about our training?
"Really excellent training. Clear and comprehensive discussion of patho-physiologic pathways leading to anaphylaxis ensures thorough understanding of what signs and symptoms, although possibly deceptively mild, require urgent response. This is reinforced by an excellent tick-box chart that takes the stress out of management decisions, in turn speeding up treatment and improving patient outcomes. The course and the accompanying charts (to be kept with resus trolley) completely take the stress from management decisions and indicate a clear action pathway in what is otherwise a highly stressful situation. The stress of whether and when to act, particularly in a private radiology setting, is removed.
Following the explanations behind the clear management principles allows for understanding of various patient presentations and appropriate adaptions of treatment as required"Doctor, NSW
"Highly recommend. It is comprehensive well presented in a relatable format to suit all levels. The patient scenarios allow positive reflection of course contents in an engaging narrative. Great work Dr Flanagan. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and can recommend to anyone wanting to build their knowledge and confidence"

"You have created a great training resource. I am very appreciative of the learning...
... Being well educated and prepared removes the patient from danger. Your course made me much more aware of this. I will be repeating it to strengthen the messages.
A fantastic resource"
