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.
