Details
From 1 October 2014 UK schools will be allowed to purchase a salbutamol inhaler without a prescription for use in emergencies when a child with asthma cannot access their own inhaler.
This guidance will give schools that choose to keep an emergency inhaler the basis to create a policy or protocol for using it.
