Anaphylaxis and BLS Training teaches learners how to recognise severe allergic reactions and understand essential emergency-response principles. It also covers CPR, AED awareness, choking and the recovery position. Therefore, it offers broad knowledge relevant to healthcare environments.
Overview of Anaphylaxis and BLS Training
Healthcare emergencies require calm observation, clear communication and timely action. This Anaphylaxis and BLS Training helps learners understand how allergic reactions can progress and how a structured response may support patient safety. Moreover, it develops knowledge of cardiac arrest recognition, CPR, defibrillation, choking and post-emergency positioning. Learners will explore how each intervention fits within an effective emergency response rather than viewing the techniques separately. As a result, healthcare professionals can strengthen their confidence, recognise when urgent assistance is required and contribute more effectively until advanced clinical support becomes available.
By completing this course, you will be able to:
- Explain what anaphylaxis is and why it is life-threatening
- Recognise common signs associated with severe allergic reactions
- Identify situations that require immediate emergency escalation
- Understand the role of adrenaline in anaphylaxis treatment
- Support everyday planning for people at risk of anaphylaxis
- Recognise an unresponsive person who may require BLS
- Explain the principles of effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- Understand when and why an AED may be used
- Respond appropriately to a suspected choking emergency
- Place a suitable casualty into the recovery position
- Communicate clearly during an emergency
- Follow organisational emergency procedures and clinical guidance

Frequently Asked Questions -
Anaphylaxis may involve sudden airway, breathing or circulation problems after exposure to an allergen. Possible signs include throat or tongue swelling, breathing difficulty, wheezing, dizziness or collapse. The condition can progress quickly and requires emergency action.
Emergency assistance should be requested immediately, and an available prescribed adrenaline auto-injector should be used according to its instructions. The person should usually lie down, although breathing difficulty may require a supported position. NHS guidance advises calling 999 and clearly stating that anaphylaxis is suspected.
Yes, the course is designed for healthcare staff, care workers and professionals who may encounter emergencies. It can refresh existing knowledge or introduce key principles to new workers. However, employers may also require face-to-face practical competency training.
Yes, the curriculum includes dedicated modules on CPR and the role of an AED. Learners explore how these interventions support a person in suspected cardiac arrest. Practical competence should still be developed and assessed using suitable equipment and instructor-led practice.
The recovery position may be used for an adult or child with reduced responsiveness who does not meet the criteria for CPR. Breathing should continue to be monitored because the person’s condition can change. It should not be used instead of CPR when breathing is absent or abnormal.
Yes, the course is delivered online and can be accessed through a compatible internet-connected device. The supplied modules total approximately two hours and sixteen minutes. Consequently, learners can study flexibly around work and personal commitments.
No, online learning builds theoretical understanding but cannot fully assess hands-on CPR, AED or choking competence. Healthcare employers may require practical training that follows workplace policy and recognised standards. Therefore, learners should complete any additional practical assessment required for their role.
