This is a helpful reminder for those who use auto injectors.

❓What should an adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) look like? ❓
Adrenaline degrades over time and may be less effective after the expiry date, so make sure you replace your adrenaline devices on time.
Check your AAIs (Jext and EpiPen) regularly to make sure the liquid is clear and colourless. If it seems discoloured or contains particles, replace it.

Remember to sign up to your device's free expiry alert service via the manufacturer's website.

Small children aren’t being ‘naughty’ when they put things in their mouths. It’s a developmental stage they all go through.

Whilst most of this exploration is healthy, some household products can cause serious harm if swallowed.

That’s why the best way to keep your child safe from poisoning is to keep harmful products out of reach or in a lockable cupboard.

Water beads are small and can easily be swallowed without detection. As they bathe in stomach fluids, they expand to many times their original size, posing a serious risk of blockage in a child’s bowel.

Some water beads grow to more than 15 times their original size, up to the size of golf balls.

The beads don’t show up on X-ray, so finding them can be really complicated and the child may need major surgery to remove them.

That’s why they aren’t recommended for under 5s.
