Allergy UK launches allergy and anaphylaxis training for schools
Allergy UK is delighted to be partnering with The Allergy Team to deliver allergy and anaphylaxis training for school staff. Together, we hope to see schools across the UK embrace this online course as an essential tool to keep pupils with allergies safer.
Simone Miles, CEO of Allergy UK says: “This is the gold-standard in allergy training and we are urging all schools to enrol their staff so they feel confident and well equipped to keep pupils with allergies safe. The video-based course is comprehensive but concise, and packed with real-world examples and practical solutions to help safeguard pupils.”
We have endorsed this training because we believe:
- It covers how to prevent allergic reactions, as well as how to respond to them
- It equips the whole school with life-saving knowledge and skills
- It is easy to understand, and won’t take staff long to complete
Sarah Knight, Founder of The Allergy Team and parent to two children with allergies says: “Allergy UK’s resources are valued by families across the country and I couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with them to deliver the very best allergy training for schools. What’s more, schools who sign up receive ongoing, expert support from us.”
On average at least one pupil in every school class has an allergy but we know that lots of schools don’t feel confident to manage the condition or to recognise and treat allergic reactions. A very high number of the calls we get to our helpline are from schools looking for help to manage allergies, so it’s fantastic we can recommend this training to them.
Amena Warner, Head of Clinical Services at Allergy UK has reviewed the course, and adds: “This is the most comprehensive allergy training for schools that I’ve seen and it ticks all the clinical boxes. I’m proud to be recommending this training to all schools.”
To celebrate the launch of our partnership, schools which sign up for this training before the end of December 2024 pay just £300 (that’s £50 off). Buy now to claim your discount.
