Adrenaline Autoinjector Training
There are currently 3 different brands of adrenaline autoinjectors available.  There are some important differences between them.
The most important thing is to carry 2 autoinjectors with you wherever your child goes.  The instructions are printed on the side, but it is good to get familiar with the specific brand of autoinjector you have.  
Epipen is our preferred device– the general public are more familiar with this brand (and the box is sturdier!).

There is a 3 minute video teaching Epipen technique here - https://youtu.be/SseZ1-YrKrY.  Or scan this:

Your doctor should give you a written allergy plan, which tells you when and how to use your autoinjector, and when to get help. Keep a copy with your autoinjectors.
Sometimes pharmacies have a temporary stock problem, often you just need to try a different pharmacy (one using a different wholesaler).  Avoid getting different brands of autoinjector, which will just cause confusion.
Whichever brand you have, go to the manufacturer’s website (www.epipen.co.uk for Epipen, www.jext.co.uk for Jext, www.emerade.com for Emerade) and see the instructions and videos there. 
You should also order a free trainer pen to practice with (put a regular date in your calendar!) and to help teach anyone else who needs to know (Grandparents, other relatives, friends who help look after your child). 
All the brands offer a text reminder service for when your autoinjector reaches its expiry date, which is very useful.  Jext has an app too you can download.
