Today I finally got to doing the CPR etc update I need for registration. The trainer for this session was surprised that we had an Epipen for anaphylaxis management.

The course that is required by the Podiatry Registration Board for registration, while covering first aid for anaphylaxis management it does not cover the training in use of an Epipen.
The Podiatrist Registration Board requirements are:
HLTFA201A does not provide training in the use of the Epipen, despite the requirement for "the management of anaphylaxis" (how are you supposed to manage anaphylaxis?!!!!)
The Board further states:It turns out that in VictoriaSource. Teachers in these schools are required to do a 2-3 hr course just in the use of the Epipen by the regulations. I do not know the situation in other states. As these regulations covers schools, they do not apply to us, but what about the training requirements before using it?
There was some confusion at the course, with several under the belief or impression that this course required by the Registration Board was supposed to cover the training in the use of the Epipen whereas the trainer was adamant that the course did not.
The trainer was clear that we should not be using them without the training course in their use.
Anyone know the situation re the use of the Epipen and the need for training?
