ASCIA Anaphylaxis refresher e-training for health professionals has been developed by ASCIA to provide accessible, consistent and evidence-based training for medical practitioners and other health professionals in Australia and New Zealand at no charge. 

This course is suitable for Medical Practitioners (including GPs, Paediatricians and Physicians), Nurse Practitioners and Nurses, Pharmacists, Dietitians and other allied healthcare professionals.

This course should be used to upskill or as interim refresher training. It does not replace the comprehensive ASCIA Anaphylaxis e-training courses for health professionals, which take around 1.5 hours to complete and include detailed modules about epidemiology, diagnosis, acute management of anaphylaxis and allergy to stings and bites.

This course is part of an education project that has received funding from the Australian Government, Department of Health, since July 2022. ASCIA also acknowledges other supporters of ASCIA education initiatives.

The learning outcomes for this course are: 

1. Differentiate between a mild to moderate allergic reaction and anaphylaxis.

2. Outline acute management for mild or moderate allergic reactions and anaphylaxis.
