It’s time we all got proactive about allergy care.
Allergy is becoming more common...
In the UK, around 2.5 million people have a known allergy.
In the last 20 years, there’s been a 336% increase in prescriptions for adrenaline pens.

Reactions are becoming more common...
There were over 25,000 hospital admissions for allergies in the UK in 2022-23.²
This has more than doubled in the last 20 years.

Adrenaline pens aren’t there when you need them...
45% of people prescribed adrenaline pens don’t carry them as they forget/expire.³
Expiry dates and stock from pharmacies are unpredictable.

“As a business, allergen safety is one of our top priorities”
“Every one of our locations now has Anaphylaxis Kitts located next to the defibrillators for treating allergic reactions, and we have trained all our first aiders.
By having the Kitts on site we can deal with emergencies and potentially save someone’s life if the worst was to happen.
It is great to see the interest the Kitts have had with our teams and our customers - We would highly recommend contacting Kitt Medical.”
- Matt Crouchley, Head of Quality and Safety for Westmorland Family

You never know when an allergic reaction might occur - and in who. But we do know that adrenaline pens are hard to source, and that often they have very short shelf lives.
That’s why we’re so excited that we can offer an all-in-one service, giving you guaranteed long-life adrenaline pens, automatically replenished before they expire, and easily stored in our accessible wall-mounted Kitts , for use in emergencies. We also replenish any pens that are used at no extra cost if you report an incident on our Portal.
Many organisations face issues with training as it’s often costly (in both time and money) to organise, and often staff don’t even turn up to do it.
That’s why we include unlimited CPD-accredited Anaphylaxis Kitt training right into the subscription package, with 30 minutes of instantly accessible, easily digestible videos on allergy and anaphylaxis followed by quiz questions. Also, through our Kitt Portal, you can track who’s completed the training (and who hasn’t), making it easy to audit.
Overall, organisations from industries across the UK are calling us a ‘no-brainer’ - find out why by enquiring today.

Our Anaphylaxis Kitt service can only be purchased in the UK by registered schools and qualifying businesses with an occupational health scheme (OHS) available.
By UK law, an organisation must have OH to purchase adrenaline pens. This could be an internal company OH physician/nurse, or a third-party provider you have available to the business (e.g. Health Assured). If you're not sure, think about who you would report an employee's mental or physical issue to...
We've found that due to a lack of OHS available, businesses such as aesthetics clinics, independent nurseries and small groups such as scouts unfortunately don't currently qualify.
This is not our decision, but rather the current UK legislation (Schedule 17 of The Human Medicines Regulations 2012).

“I've lived with severe allergies to nuts for my entire life. I wanted to create something that could solve the issues I face every day.”
As a product designer at university, I wanted to create something ‘just like a defibrillator, but for allergies’. Since graduating in 2020 that idea has quickly become a reality.
We now provide hundreds of venues across the UK with emergency adrenaline pens in a wall-mounted Kitt, alongside online CPD-accredited training and incident reporting, all-in-one subscription service.”
