Responding to Anaphylactic Reactions

This course equips childminders and preschool teachers with the skills to administer an adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) during an anaphylactic reaction.

Before handing a child or infant over to emergency services, you will also learn how to place them in the recovery position.
