Syringe Driver Training
Course description
This three-hour face-to-face workshop will help Registered Nurses develop the essential knowledge and skills to competently set up and manage a subcutaneous syringe pump in end-of-life care.
The session combines both theory and practice, addressing the administration and monitoring of a subcutaneous infusion. It includes calculating the rate setting for safe medication delivery, and an overview of some of the drugs used in continuous subcutaneous infusions, along with drug combinations and compatibility.
The training utilises a McKinley T34 syringe pump or similar.
Pre-requisites
- A pre-course drug calculation exam is to be completed in advance for discussion on the day.
Please note delegates must be able to follow this session with repeated, supervised, safe practice in their working environment, as they will be required to demonstrate competence within their organisation before being able to practice independently.
A certificate of attendance will be provided.
