Anaphylaxis Kit Storage Points & Cabinets
Our range of starer packs, points, boxes and signage make it easy to store AAIs in a compliant way in line with the Department for Education guidance. It is important to ensure that AAIs are not 'locked' away.
"Schools should ensure that all AAI devices – including those belonging to a younger child, and any spare AAI in the Emergency kit – are kept in a safe and suitably central location: for example, the school office or staffroom to which all staff have access at all times, but in which the AAI is out of the reach and sight of children. They must not be locked away in a cupboard or an office where access is restricted. Schools should ensure that AAIs are accessible and available for use at all times, and not located more than 5 minutes away from where they may be needed. In larger schools, it may be prudent to locate a kit near the central dining area and another near the playground; more than one kit may be needed."
“Schools might like to keep the emergency kit together with an "emergency asthma inhaler kit" (containing an inhaler device and spacer). Many food-allergic children also have asthma, and asthma is a common symptom during food-induced anaphylaxis." - Department for Education: Guidance on the use of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools

Important information about allergic reactions
Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction - it can be fatal if treatment is not given quickly.
Since 1st October 2017, the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 have allowed primary and secondary schools to buy adrenaline auto-injector (AAl) devices without a prescription, upon receipt of a signed order form from the head teacher.
Anaphylaxis tends to occur straight after coming into contact with a trigger, however it can occur a few hours later. Different people have different triggers.
Common triggers include:
Food
Peanuts, eggs, seafood
Medicines
Penicillin
Insects
Bee or wasp stings
AAls are highly intuitive and easy to use devices used for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis.
Different brands of AAls are used in different ways. You MUST follow the instructions provided with your auto-injector.
NEW! Pharmaceutical Packaging
No more delays to despatching pharmaceutical items
As part of our licence to distribute pharmaceutical products, we must ensure that pharmaceuticals are not stored in temperatures below 8° or above 25° at any time, including when in transit. We store pharmaceuticals in a specialist temperature-controlled room, but are unable to guarantee temperatures once goods have been despatched. This can cause delays to despatching orders in the winter, when overnight temperatures are often sub-zero, or on hot days in the summer. This is far from ideal given the essential nature of products like back up Adrenaline Injectors and Inhalers for schools.
Temperature controlled packaging is often very expensive and would typically result in significant costs to be passed on. However, as part of our commitment to serve our customers as best as we can, we have found a new innovative solution which enables us to promptly despatch pharmaceutical orders in almost any external conditions AND does not cost our customers a penny more!
Our new packaging for pharmaceutical products is as sustainable as it is effective. It is made using a combination of 100% pure natural sheep wool fibres, and a compostable and biodegradable outer. The packaging ensures that pharmaceuticals are insulated when external temperatures are cold and chilled when the weather is warm, all the way from our warehouse until being delivered to your door.
