Anaphylaxis Management Training | OSHAA 30-Hour Diploma
The OSHAA 30-Hours Professional Diploma in Anaphylaxis Management is an in-depth training programme designed to prepare participants to effectively recognise, respond to, and manage anaphylactic emergencies. Anaphylaxis is a serious and potentially fatal allergic reaction that requires rapid identification and immediate action. This diploma equips learners with the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to respond confidently and appropriately in high-pressure situations.
Delivered by OSHAA, a trusted international awarding body in health and safety education, the programme aligns with global standards and best practices. It is particularly suited to healthcare professionals, emergency responders, teachers, childcare providers, workplace supervisors, and individuals responsible for allergy risk management.
The course combines theoretical learning with practical training, ensuring participants understand both the science behind allergic reactions and the real-world application of emergency procedures. Key areas of study include common allergens, triggers, early warning signs, emergency response protocols, and the safe and correct use of adrenaline auto-injectors. Learners also develop skills in creating and implementing emergency action plans.
In addition, the diploma addresses prevention strategies, risk assessment, and effective communication to promote awareness and minimise exposure to allergens. Upon completion, participants strengthen their professional competence and readiness to protect individuals at risk, demonstrating a strong commitment to safety, preparedness, and best practice in anaphylaxis management.
