Look What’s arrived!!! 👀

I’d like to introduce NEFFY!

💜WHAT IS neffy?
neffy is a nasal spray used for emergency treatment of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, in adults and children aged 4 years and older who weigh 33 lbs or greater.

💚IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is the most important information that I should know about neffy?
neffy contains epinephrine, a medicine used to treat allergic emergencies (anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening, can happen in minutes, and can be caused by stinging and biting insects, allergy injections, foods, medicines, exercise, or other unknown causes.

💜Always carry two neffy nasal sprays with you because you may not know when anaphylaxis may happen and because you may need a second dose of neffy if symptoms continue or come back. Each neffy contains a single dose of epinephrine. neffy is for use in the nose only.
Use neffy right away, as soon as you notice symptoms of an allergic reaction. If symptoms continue or get worse after the first dose of neffy, a second dose is needed. If needed, administer a second dose using a new neffy in the same nostril starting 5 minutes after the first dose. Get emergency medical help for further treatment of the allergic emergency (anaphylaxis), if needed after using neffy.

💚NEFFY isn’t currently available from my GP having requested some, but it will be in the near future. All anaphylaxis training with us now will include NEFFY training ready for Benedict’s Law 2026

📣Important Update About Our Services From 1st April

As many of you will have seen, a number of small businesses are announcing closures from April. A major reason for this is the significant increase in business rates this year. The government has chosen to recover some of the costs from the Covid period by effectively removing the Small Business Rate Relief scheme.

For small independent businesses like ours, this means that from April we will be subject to new business rates — and for us, the rate has tripled based on the value of the centre.

Rather than passing this cost on to our clients, who are also feeling the impact of rising expenses, we have made the decision to stop providing lunch from 1st April. This allows us to avoid increasing our course prices and helps keep the business financially sustainable for everyone who relies on us.

We will still be offering our full range of hot drinks, including tea, coffee, hot chocolate and matcha, along with sweet treats and our much‑loved candy bar.

We hope you understand our decision and appreciate that this change allows us to continue operating without raising prices. Thank you for your ongoing support — it means a great deal to Me.

Are you ready for Benedict’s law! 🤧🥜💉

The consultation on Supporting Pupils with Medical Conditions and Allergies at school aims to deliver the core elements of the Benedict's Law campaign, including spare adrenaline devices in schools, improved allergy training for staff, clear allergy policies, and stronger individual healthcare plans.

Yesterday I had my say on the matter, this is really a much needed change and as an huge advocate of Allergy awareness in Schools I do hope they take into consideration the cost and supply of the AAI’s and hope this will be a funded implementation with an open ready available supply chain as currently the financial cost and the availability is a huge issue for Educational establishments 🤞💜💚

There must also be a way that this can be implemented into nurseries and private pre schools as every child matters! ❤️

‼️⚠️How Honey could save your child’s life?⚠️‼️

For those of you who have been on my Paediatric courses recently, we have talked about my views on using honey🍯 when children swallow batteries, now although it isn’t on the First Aid syllabus YET!!! as a parent of twin toddlers I feel so strongly that sometimes we have to step outside a box in order to save lives and this is one of those times. Have a read of my blog post about the lifesaving properties of 🍯

The more people who know about this the better, so spread the word folks and get some runny honey in those cupboards!

‼️UPDATE Even more products now Recalled‼️
⚠️DO NOT CONSUME ⚠️ FOLLOW US NOW FOR UPDATES

Danone is recalling several Aptamil and Cow & Gate infant formula and follow-on milk products because cereulide toxin may be present in some batches.

Cereulide can cause rapid onset of nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. It's unlikely to be destroyed by boiling water or cooking.
Even if your baby seems well, it is essential to stop using affected products. If the formula was prescribed by a health professional, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula.

CPR is on the curriculum, so why are so many students missing out?

2025 research shows that nearly 4 in 10 UK secondary school students say they haven’t received CPR training in school.

We’re calling on governments and local authorities to follow through on their commitments by improving support for schools and introducing systems to track CPR education, so every student gets the lifesaving skills they deserve.

Stand with us by signing our petition: action.resus.org.uk/cpr-in-schools

04/02/2026

The campaign for Benedict’s Law has taken a giant leap forward, with the Government committing to mandatory school allergy guidance and stronger protections for children and young people with allergies. This progress brings us closer to ensuring every school is equipped with the policies, training and life-saving resources needed to keep pupils safe.

A heartfelt thank you to Benedict Blythe Foundation, the wider allergy charity community, dedicated healthcare professionals, and everyone who has campaigned tirelessly for this change. Your passion and collaboration have helped shift the dial on school allergy safety — and we will not stop until all children are protected.

💬“I'm delighted that Benedict’s Law has been passed. This will ensure the safety of children and young people with allergies in schools.” – Tracey Dunn, Anaphylaxis UK Education and AllergyWise Manager

Together we can make school environments safer and more inclusive for every child with an allergy.
