Clinical Training for School Staff

Abuka provides specialist training to help school staff confidently support pupils with medical conditions.

Allergy & Anaphylaxis Training

Epilepsy & Seizure Response

Understand seizure types, emergency procedures and how to support pupils safely during and after an episode.

Training for Schools: Supporting Pupils with Medical Needs

Schools today support pupils with a wide range of medical needs — from asthma and allergies to epilepsy, diabetes and complex care requirements. Staff are expected to respond quickly, confidently and safely, often in time-critical situations.

Abuka specialises in medical needs training for school settings, helping teachers, support staff and leadership teams build the knowledge and confidence they need to support pupils safely. Our training is practical, school-focused and delivered by medical professionals who understand the realities of a busy school day.

Whether it’s recognising early symptoms, administering emergency medication or understanding care plans, our goal is simple: to ensure every member of staff feels prepared when it matters most.

Allergy Training for Schools

Allergy awareness is becoming an increasingly important part of safeguarding in schools. From September 2026, new guidance is expected to strengthen allergy safety in schools, ensuring staff are trained to recognise allergic reactions and respond quickly in emergencies.

For schools, this means ensuring staff understand:

How to recognise symptoms of an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis
How and when to use adrenaline auto-injectors (EpiPens)
How to reduce allergy risks in classrooms, lunch areas and school trips
How to follow individual healthcare plans for pupils with allergies

Abuka provides practical allergy awareness training for school staff, helping teams feel confident responding to allergic reactions and creating a safer environment for pupils.
