Our individual sessions run for about 45 minutes and course objectives include:

  • To have an increased awareness of Asthma, Anaphylaxis and Epilepsy 
  • To provide an overview of the care for a child with Asthma in school, identify an asthma attack and treat safely in line with statutory guidance
  • To have a greater awareness of how staff can support pupils at school with medical conditions such as Anaphylaxis and Epilepsy.

Unfortunately we can no longer offer any whole school training sessions. 

All training sessions will be delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams on the dates and times listed in the accordion below.

  • There will be no need to book into the session.
  • Please use the webinar link to join the session you wish to attend.
  • Each session will last around 45 minutes.
  • Webinars will open from 3.30pm, please wait in the lobby until your Trainers are ready.
  • Entry will not be granted after 3.45pm.

We look forward to seeing you on our training sessions.

At the end of the session a QR code will be shared with all attendees which will take you to a short survey where you can provide your feedback on the session. The surveys only takes a few minutes to complete and we review all your feedback for future sessions.
