ProTrainings has a huge online training portfolio, with our online courses being available 24/7 across both mobile and desktop devices. All online courses have been independently CPD certified and endorsed by Skills for Care and TQUK.

Online training offers the advantage of working at your own pace, whenever it fits into your schedule.

How does online training work?

Learners watch a series of informative videos, then complete a series of knowledge review questions. Once all the modules have been completed, there is a final test. On successful completion of this, you will receive a tailored certificate by email or if required, a printed option. Thanks to the innovative ProTrainings learning platform, students can start and stop the course as often as required across any desktop or mobile device.

What is it?

Anaphylaxis (Pronounced an-a-fi-LAK-sis) is a serious allergic response that often involves swelling, hives, lowered blood pressure and in severe cases, shock.

If anaphylactic shock isn’t treated immediately, it can be fatal. Symptoms usually start within 5 to 30 minutes of coming into contact with the concerned allergen/s. The most common and noticeable effect of anaphylaxis is a swollen throat and shortness of breath, leading to trouble swallowing and wheezing. These are often accompanied by a red rash and hives.

Anaphylaxis may occur in people with allergies to foods, insect stings, medications or latex and other products. People who know they’re at risk of anaphylaxis should be armed with auto-injectible epinephrine (often known as an auto-injector)

How can I be prepared to help?

In our professional opinion, the best way to be ready to assist somebody experiencing anaphylaxis is to take our quick and easy course (obviously!). It’s aimed at anyone who needs to be aware of anaphylaxis and covers the use of Epi-Pens^®, Emerade^® and Jext^® (all brands of auto-injectors).

The course helps with recognising signs of the condition and treating it. Care for the patient is detailed, including the important step of calling 999 as soon as it’s recognised.

Alongside an online course, a classroom course is also offered and the certificate is valid for three years. On completion of either, you will be issued a ProTrainings wall certificate and wallet card.

Hear what one of our happy customers had to say about our course:

Carlos, from New York:

“THE INFORMATION IS PRESENTED IN A METHODICAL, PROFESSIONAL AND NON-THREATENING FASHION… ADDITIONALLY YOU ARE NOT ABANDONED AFTER THE COURSE. THE FOLLOW-UP RESOURCES & SUPPORT GIVES THE STUDENT A SENSE OF SECURITY….WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT.”

Alongside these, there’s nothing like hands-on practice. You can purchase a trailer auto-injector which looks and feels just like the real thing but doesn’t contain a needle or drug. Using this, you can perfect your technique and keep it at the front of your mind, just in case. Buy one here: Auto-Injector Trainer

The government is apparently working to solve the supply issue with the manufacturer of the auto-injector, which is the most widely used device of its kind.

Most EpiPen® owners carry two of them around at all times, ready to counter the severe reactions they face when coming into contact with a variety of allergens including nuts, fish, seafood and fruits.

The shortage has pushed some doctors to prescribe alternative auto-injectors, and the extra demand has led to dwindling supplies of similar devices produced by other brands.

In partnership with a local charity, staff members have received training to become defibrillator instructors, and are now going out into the area to teach this life-saving skill to others.

As part of its community training program, over 300 pupils at Redhill School were taught how to use the one, and the company even donated an AED to the site!

The shopping centre’s staff regularly have to perform first aid on customers, and it has big plans to go even further with this life-saving support in 2019.

We think this is a great idea and would love to support similar initiatives across the UK. If you would like to inquire about purchasing defibrillators or training, either online or as a classroom-based instructor-led course, please contact us!

The word ‘wiki’ which you probably aren’t familiar with, originates from Hawaii, where the term ‘wiki wiki’ means ‘very quick’. Its definition: A website or database, developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content.

Well, that’s what we’ve developed. Not just for first aid, but for pet first aid and health and safety too!

Check out the pages here:

Pet First Aid WiKi www.propetfirstaid.co.uk/wiki

First Aid WiKi www.profaw.co.uk/wiki

As you now know, a wiki is not a wiki without some two-way communication; we need your feedback to improve this pool of knowledge. If you have new questions, better answers, or if you just want to discuss something you’ve read, please do get in touch by emailing us at support@protrainings.uk or calling 01206 805359.

Luckily, the owner had taken a ProTrainings ‘Pet First Aid’ course and sprung into action, turning the dog upside down and shaking him, before checking the inside of his mouth for the tablet.

“Remembering the first aid talk Keith gave us 2 years ago, I checked his pulse regularly and kept an eye on his breathing rate.

“I can definitely say that I would have panicked more, and would not have done the preliminary first aid, had I not been taught what to do in an emergency. Thank you to Keith and the others at ProTrainings for their clear teaching.”

Barney is alive and well and is continuing his Dog Aid training to become an assistance dog, caring for his loving owner.

There is no change to the device or the drug (adrenaline); the change is in the instructions for use as outlined below:

·         Reduced injection time from 10 to 3 seconds – this is based on research confirming delivery of adrenaline for 3 seconds is sufficient.

·         Removal of the massage step after the injection – this step has been removed to simplify the process of administering EpiPen® or EpiPen® Junior.

The changes are aimed to improve patient compliance.

It is important to remember that, the effectiveness of the EpiPen® and EpiPen® Junior will not be impacted regardless of whether it is held for 3 or 10 seconds.

We expect EpiPen® and EpiPen® Junior with the 3-second label to enter pharmacies in the UK from November 2017 onwards. There may still be some EpiPen® and EpiPen® Junior with the 10 second label available on the market.
