AAI letter to schools March 2021
We are in the Spring term and soon will be in the Summer term, a time where allergy triggers like pollen, trees, grasses, and weeds are high. With this in mind, it is important that we ensure that all the remaining schools pick up their allocation of Adrenaline auto injector pens. Many schools have not yet collected their pens.
The free “Spare pens” are only for Haringey council maintained primary and secondary schools. Unfortunately we are unable to provide free “Spare pens” to Haringey independent and private schools or children centres and nurseries.
We have received the new batch of Adrenaline auto injector (AAI) pens for Haringey primary and secondary schools. The brand we will supply will be the Jext® brand of Adrenaline Auto Injector (AAI) pens.
The “spare” AAI(s) pens can be used if the pupil’s own prescribed AAI(s) are not immediately available (for example, because they are broken, out-of-date, have misfired or been wrongly administered). They do not replace the pupil’s own supply of AAI pens.
Please contact Firoz Mazumder the named person at St Ann’s pharmacy department on 020 8702 5421 or email firoz.mazumder@nhs.net to arrange a time to pick up your allocation of pens.
These pens are replacing the expired Dec 2020 AAI pens and will expire in March 2022. It is important that schools ensure they have AAI pens that are in date and not expired.
Please complete the AAI supply form before collection and follow instructions in this letter: Adrenaline auto injection pens – letter to schools
