Editorial Reviews

Review
"This book is a valuable resource providing a wealth of information about the use of syringe drivers and CSCIs in palliative care and should be readily available wherever syringe drivers are used. One can only imagine the trouble experienced by the authors in researching, collating and presenting all the data, but I know the second edition will be even better." IAHPC Website "The straightforward comprehensive style and in-depth coverage of the subject should, along with its relatively low cost, ensure that this book will soon be found in nearly all palliative care units." Progress in Palliative Care, Vol 10, No 4 " ... a welcome resource ... This book will be an excellent source of information for palliative care practitioners and should be readily available as a valuable reference source." Palliative Medicine, 26 I would highly recommend it as a resource handbook for any service where syringe drivers are used for symptom control.
