Obtaining Adrenalin Pens

6 July 2026 saw the publication of the DfE's Allergy Guidance.

Schools will also be expected to stock spare adrenaline devices, in addition to those already prescribed to individual pupils. The DfE estimates this will cost schools between £300 and £600, depending on how many devices are needed, and there is currently no dedicated government funding attached to this requirement. It is worth building into budget planning now rather than waiting. We work with The Allergy Team, who have a relationship with the Simple Online pharmacy to help schools source devices at cost price with at least a year on the expiry date: theallergyteam.com/buyspareadrenalinepens
