This course provides pharmacists with a systematic approach to the diagnosis and management of anaphylaxis from first principles.
It consists of five modules with narrated teaching, supported by a practical Anaphylaxis Management Form.

 
 
 
 
 

The modules begin with the foundations of anaphylaxis, covering what anaphylaxis is, how it is triggered, and the factors that influence its severity.
Pathophysiology (what is going wrong) is examined, including how this translates into the specific signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis.
The diagnosis of anaphylaxis is addressed in a systematic manner, including differentiation from simple allergic reactions and other clinical conditions.
Management follows the ASCIA guidelines and covers the 7-step process, required equipment, and special considerations in children and pregnancy, as well as the management of overwhelming anaphylaxis (anaphylaxis-induced cardiac arrest). A dedicated 30-minute segment addresses challenges specific to pharmacy-based care.
The course concludes with nineteen case studies that bring together the principles of diagnosis and management, demonstrating how they may be applied in real clinical situations.

Excellent content and presentation. Case studies tied all the information together and reinforced knowledge 

Doctor

Extremely valuable course from an experienced clinician. I appreciated the thorough discussion of pathophysiology, and I 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 

Doctor

Excellent course on anaphylaxis- comprehensive, well-presented, and combining high-quality, evidence-based information with real-life practical scenarios. Having completed the course , I feel more confident and better equipped to identify , escalate and assist in the management of anaphylaxis effectively. I would highly recommend this course to my colleagues.

Registered Nurse

.....This course is thorough, realistic and I learned more from it than from any other anaphylaxis programme. I feel much more comfortable assisting during these events now because I feel like I'm a better teammate to the managing doctor than I was before

As a CT Radiographer with 20 years’ experience I found this course very beneficial. It offers an in-depth description as well as practical examples of anaphylaxis which has helped the way we manage our patients in a clinical setting. As a result of this course, I have become more confident in assessing patients that have reactions in our department and assisting in patient care. I would definitely recommend this course

Radiographer

Thank you so much! Very well presented and clinically oriented course. Clear explanation of the pathophysiology underlying the clinical presentation of anaphylaxis. The clinical case studies were very informative and reflective of daily practice and clinical scenarios. Management of anaphylaxis was clearly explained in the case studies. Thanks again

Doctor

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 it to anyone wanting to build their knowledge and confidence 

Paramedic

Really excellent training. …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.
