Although COVID-19 case numbers are falling in the UK and lockdown restrictions are due to ease, the demands on the health service continue to grow with mounting pressure on GP’s and hospital staff alike. It seems that demand from patients is intensifying and problems that patients have put on hold and tolerated during the past few months are now coming to the fore.
Never before has there been such a demand for auto injection devices that can be used in the home environment. They allow safe and effective administration of medication outside of a clinic or hospital, which greatly reduces the pressure on NHS staff, especially as they continue to struggle with the post pandemic medical demands. The use of auto injection devices can ultimately save the NHS money as it is particularly costly for a nurse to administer an injection. In comparison if a patient can go to a pharmacy and pick up the device to self-inject at home it is more convenient for the patient and reduces the number of people visiting hospitals. Treatment of chronic diseases, such as Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Crohn’s disease, are most commonly self-administered at home, and prefilled safety syringes and auto injectors are typically used by these patients.
