Introduction

Adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) are used to treat serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Since 2017, UK schools can purchase spare AAIs (or ‘spare pens’) for use in an emergency if a child’s own, prescribed AAIs are not available or not working.
 
 
Anaphylaxis UK is looking to find out how many schools across the UK choose to purchase spare AAIs and what the barriers are for the schools who do not purchase them.
 
 
The responses to this survey will help us understand more about the uptake of spare pens in schools. This survey is for school staff only. You can complete this survey anonymously if you'd prefer by not entering your school name.


The survey should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. As a thank you for completing the survey, you will be directed to a webpage to download three allergy awareness activity sheets to use in your school.


This survey is supported by an educational grant from ALK.
