Cost‑price spare adrenaline pens for schools
Having spare adrenaline auto‑injectors available in school can save lives. Yet many schools tell us they struggle to access them because:
- They’re too expensive
- They have short expiry dates
- Pharmacies aren’t aware of the Spare Pens in Schools scheme
That’s why The Allergy Team is working with Simple Online Pharmacy to give every UK school easy, reliable access to cost‑price spare adrenaline pens.
A simpler, more affordable solution for schools
No more shopping around, chasing pharmacies, or worrying about eligibility.
Through Simple Online Pharmacy, schools can now access:
- Cost‑price EpiPen and Jext auto‑injectors
- Clear guidance on eligibility and ordering
- Expiry dates of at least 12 months*
- Practical information on storing and using spare pens safely
Get your instructions and voucher code
Any UK school or local authority‑maintained nursery is eligible to purchase spare adrenaline auto‑injectors.
Simply download the instructions from Simple Online Pharmacy and follow the easy ordering process.
Please read the instructions carefully as the ordering process is slightly different for EpiPens and Jext devices.
Why having spare pens matters
Even with robust allergy management in place, serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) can and do happen in schools, often unexpectedly and sometimes to individuals with no history of allergy.
Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency and must be treated as quickly as possible with adrenaline.
