Hi I am a UK member of this site and have been trying to get a new twitter campaign with hashtag #carrytwo
The UK has had new guidelines from the BSACI and they read a little woolly. Many feel that their is a cost cutting exercise to reduce the amount of auto injectors being prescribed. To go from 2 to 1.
Of course many do not agree, and the two main allergy charities, Allergy UK and Anaphylaxis Campaign are still sticking to the idea that we should all be carrying two.
please support us by retweeting the comments and pls add your own views and keep on sharing.
personally our son who has had auto injectors for many years and used only one previously suddenly needed both for his last reaction. If we hadnt been carrying two I dont think he would be here.
Certainly the UK has had a problem with ambulance times, and many take 30 mins or more to get to anyone during peak times. This is another reason to keep 2 at all times.
We will be having a debate on #allergyhour @allergyhour this evening 8.30 British summer time ( am totally rubbish at working out time differences, so anyone who can sort this out for me , please do!) add the #carrytwo Thanks!
