Important - Auto-Injectors Posted or Updated on 7 Sep 2023

Attention all patients who use Auto-Injectors!

Are you aware that all Auto-Injectors have an expiry date?

It is very important that you are aware of this date so you can obtain a free replacement once your Auto- Injector has expired.

There is a FREE Auto-Injector Expiry Date Alert Service that is available for all patients and you can sign up online.

EPI-PEN USERS

If you use an Epi-Pen, you can sign up for our Expiry Alert Service and receive free reminders by text or email when your EpiPen^® is about to expire. If you have more than one pen with the same expiry date, then you only need to sign up once. If your pens have different expiry dates, you should register each pen.

JEXT USERS

If you use a Jext, you can register with the ALK Expiry Alert Service to receive alerts warning you when your Jext^® is due to expire and needs to be replaced by your GP. We will send through free notifications by SMS or email, or both, notifying you when your Jext^® is due to expire.

Use this link to sign up:

NB Please note you must register each of your auto-injectors separately.

If you have any queries, please contact your surgery.
