Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

The Surrey Heartlands APC have agreed a variety of resources to support the safe and effective prescribing of adrenaline auto-injectors:

  • an Aide Memoire for Primary Care when prescribing adrenaline auto-injectors
  • guidance for the prescribing of appropriate quantities
  • a checklist / proforma for completion by secondary care when discharging adults or children following anaphylaxis
  • an AccuRx template

See below for these documents

The prescribing of Jext, EpiPen and Emerade are supported and should be prescribed by BRAND to ensure the patient receives the correct device.
Patients should receive regular device training. Patient support materials are also available below.
