During the current shortage of auto-injectors to treat anaphylaxis, some individuals may switch from their usual brands/devices to an alternative. Operating instructions may differ between brands of adrenaline auto-injectors. Ensure that you are familiar with the different devices in use and how to administer them.
See here for further information from the Dept of Health & Social Care, and Guidance on how to use different devices. Contact your local Healthy Child Programme team and ask to speak to a school nurse if you have any queries.
