What’s included:
-
Your wall-mounted Kitt.
Our Kitts should be securely wall-mounted in accessible locations, such as a front reception or cafeteria. We provide multiple keys with every Kitt, as well as including a breakable emergency key box.
Once unlocked, the portable Kitt can be easily taken to any emergency. -
Adrenaline, guaranteed.
We guarantee a dependable supply of spare adrenaline pens in both doses with every Anaphylaxis Kitt subscription, for use in emergencies.
The adrenaline will be automatically replenished by us before they expire each year, or if they’re used and reported to us at no extra cost. -
Online management & training.
Keep track of your subscription through our software, with clear views to track adrenaline expiry dates, Kitt locations, training, and more.
We also provide an easy install guide, check-ups, medication restock notifications, a termly to-do list, and our online CPD-accredited training course
“It’s a no-brainer”
Find out why Anaphylaxis Kitts should be a key part of the health, safety, and safeguarding policies at your school.
Anaphylaxis happens more in school than in any other setting outside the home in the UK.
On average, 1 to 2 children in every UK school classroom live with an allergy.
In 2018, almost 8,000 deaths across the UK mentioned anaphylaxis on their death certificate.
And whilst schools regularly put in place ‘no nut policies’, 26% of food allergy deaths in school-aged children are caused by cows milk allergy.
But here’s a wake-up call: 1 in 3 UK schools DON'T have an allergy policy in place, including proper training for staff, and most don’t keep a spare set of adrenaline pens in case of emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We know that adrenaline pens can be quite 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 (rather than a locked cupboard somewhere in your school). We also replenish any pens that are used at no extra cost if you report an incident on our Portal.
Many schools 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, hundreds of schools across the UK consistently call us a ‘no-brainer’ - find out why by signing up with our service today.

If you’ve got a child with allergies at school then we’d love to help you get Kitts installed there. We’ve had a few PTA’s and local groups fund Kitts too, which is an option.
We’ve put together a leaflet with info about our Anaphylaxis Kitts for schools for you to pass on/present to your school - click here to access it.
We also work with a lot of school academy trusts around the country and can come present a talk on Understand Allergies & Anaphylaxis At School - if you’re interested, get in touch with us by emailing team@kittmedical.com
-
We've seen a few organisations, PTA groups, and individuals raise funding for Kitts in their local schools.
Some amazing examples of this include:
Please keep in mind that multiple years' worth of funding needs to be secured as our Kitts come as an annual subscription contract to ensure the adrenaline pens (& training) are consistently supplied.
Interested in raising funds? We recommend starting a page on Crowdfunder.
Our CPD-accredited training course.
Our online training course is included with every Kitt subscription and accessible to all your staff.
Through 30 minutes of videos and quiz questions, you’ll learn all about allergy and anaphylaxis from leading healthcare professionals and those with lived experience.
Our Kitts have treated multiple life threatening allergic reactions in schools.

Ava, 14, Dance Student
July 2023 - Harris Academy Rainham
Ava was part of a dance troop renting a school site when she experienced a severe allergic reaction to a snack bar. In the panic, she couldn’t find her own adrenaline pen, so the school’s Anaphylaxis Kitt was accessed and used to treat her.

Elaine, 53, Art Teacher
July 2024 - York House School
Elaine had no known allergies until she consumed a ginger beer at home one evening and began experiencing anaphylaxis. She desperately called Jason, the estate manager at their school, who drove over with a Kitt and saved her life.
“Our trust is so pleased to be part of this!”
