Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction, which requires
immediate medical attention. With the number of sufferers increasing each year,
it is extremely important to know what to do when faced with this acute
emergency condition.
The QA Level 2 Award in Basic Life Support and Management of Anaphylaxis (RQF)
qualification has been designed for those who have a specific responsibility at
work, at home or in voluntary and community activities, to provide basic life
support and manage anaphylaxis when dealing with an emergency. Successful
candidates will be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and
will be equipped with the vital skills needed to administer safe, prompt and
effective treatment.
