Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) can kill without immediate first aid management. The UK is one of the top three countries in the world for the incidence of allergies. An estimated 21 million adults suffer from at least one allergy and 6 - 8% percent of children have a proven food allergy. Training for anaphylaxis is for anyone who needs training in how and when to use an auto injector for the treatment of anaphylaxis.
