Allergy

Do you have a serious allergy?

If you are prescribed an Adrenaline Auto-Injector (AAI) eg. Epipen, Jext or Emerade, please make sure you have met with the college nurse and signed the College Allergy Protocol. Please return this to the college nurse asap after enrolment.

Please be aware that you are expected to keep 2 AAI's and oral antihistamines with you at all times in college, or when attending college activities off campus. There are 3 college Epipens (300mcg) kept on campus for emergency use, but they are not a substitute for your own AAI's and are not taken on college trips

Is Barton Peveril nut-free?

The answer is NO! Learning to manage your allergy yourself is an important part of becoming more independent. However we are here to support you too. Please just ask any member of the catering staff if you are unsure of the ingredients of food served at college or for sale in the vending machines

If in doubt, don't eat it!

Never forget to replace your AAI again!

Just sign up for AAI expiry alert services, to receive a text when your AAI is due to expire. Just click on the relevant links to register - Emerade, Epipen and Jext
