Responding to Anaphylactic Reactions

Responding to Anaphylactic Reactions – Level 3 Award

Course title


Responding to Anaphylactic Reactions – Level 3 Award

Course description


This qualification is for those that require additional training in basic life support and management of anaphylaxis. Many attendees are those working in environments that support children that may be at risk of severe allergic reactions, for example those working in nurseries and other early years settings.

The qualification has also been designed as the perfect add-on to standard first aid courses such as the QNUK Level 3 Award in Paediatric First aid (RQF). Where this qualification is combined with another first aid course, the guided learning hours can be reduced, due to the range of similar subjects.

Course content


Subjects covered include:

  • Understand the role and responsibilities of a first aider.
  • Be able to assess an incident.
  • Be able to provide first aid to an unresponsive casualty.

  • Be able to provide first aid to a casualty with external bleeding.
  • Know how to provide first aid to a casualty who is in shock.

  • QNUK Level 3 Award in First aid at Work (RQF)
  • Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF)
  • QNUK Level 3 Award in Responding to Incidents with an AED (RQF)
