&lt;p&gt;Anaphylaxis management training is accredited training that includes  information about allergies and anaphylaxis, recognising signs and  symptoms, managing and treating an allergic reaction (including  administration of an EpiPen&amp;reg; and the Anapen&amp;reg;) and minimising the risk of  exposure to allergens in children&amp;rsquo;s services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The course on offer, &lt;em&gt;First Aid Management of Anaphylaxis (22099VIC, formerly known as 21659VIC)&lt;/em&gt;,  is recognised by the Victorian Government for the purpose of the  Children&amp;rsquo;s Services Regulations 1998. The statement of results indicate  that units &lt;em&gt;VU20296- Provide first aid management of severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;VU20297 - Develop risk minimisation and management strategies for allergic reaction and anaphylaxis&lt;/em&gt;, have been completed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The course costs $60.00 per participant and runs for 3.0 hours, usually on a Sunday afternoon after the level 2 first aid course.  It is never cancelled, even if you are the only person in the class!  It includes the firing-off of a real epi-pen so that participants can get a really good understanding of the correct procedures and the equipment involved.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>First Aid Management of Anaphylaxis in VIC (22099VIC)</category></item><item><title>CPR Training (HLTCPR201B) at Gateway on Fri 24 Feb 2012 10:00AM</title><link>http://www.melbournefirstaid.com/training-courses/cpr-update/cpr-training-hltcpr201b.html</link><description>&lt;p&gt;This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;
