Level 3 OFQUAL RQF Basic Life Support, AED training and Anaphylaxis management course

Description

Anaphylactic shock, or Anaphylaxis, is a life-threatening, serious allergic reaction to an allergen such as food substances or insect stings and if it is not treated appropriately, it can be fatal. Therefore it is very important that the First Aider is able to recognise and differentiate between mild to moderate allergic reactions and the potentially life-threatening Anaphylactic reactions immediately. This course is designed to help and assist First Aiders to enable them to recognise, manage and treat Anaphylaxis safely and effectively. This course also incorporates elements of basic life support training including Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation(CPR) and the use of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) competently and with confidence which can dramatically increase the casualty’s survival rate. The topics covered in this course are in accordance with current guidelines published by the Resuscitation Council (UK).

This course is taught over 4 hours and consists of theoretical and practical activities.

Important Information 

Please note that delegates must be at least 16 years of age and be physically able to carry out the procedures detailed in the course outline and must attend all sessions to be eligible for assessment.

It may be possible to grant a reasonable adjustment for a learner who has a disability, medical condition or learning need: For example, assistance could be given with reading or writing.

Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands. Learners must be able to get to the floor unaided and successfully demonstrate all required elements of the practical assessment on their own, with the casualty on the floor, as in a real-life situation: For example, a learner will need to get to the floor unassisted and demonstrate effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a manikin at floor level.

Delegates should have good English literacy and numeracy skills to understand the course and to complete the assessments.
