Use of Syringe Drivers

Compton Hall, 4 Compton Road West, Wolverhampton, WV3 9DH
8th October 2026

Course Overview

A syringe driver provides a safe and effective way of drug administration and can be used to maintain symptom control for palliative care patients who are unable to take oral medication, or who require a constant therapeutic infusion.

This session will support you to practice setting up a syringe driver in your place of work. The session will be delivered at Compton Care and competence will be assessed in the classroom.

Please note a certificate of attendance will be issued but we are unable to assess competence in practice.

What will I learn from this course?

  • General principles when caring for a patient with a syringe pump
  • Increase confidence in assembling and setting up the T34 correctly, discussing common problems that arise and how to deal with them
  • Refresh and update your skills

Fully funded places available

We are pleased to offer fully funded training places for staff working within the NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board (ICB) footprint.

These funded places are available to organisations based within the Black Country ICB area (Wolverhampton, Walsall, Sandwell and Dudley), including:

Once this limit is reached, additional applicants may be placed on a waiting list. Where capacity allows, further places may be released closer to the course date.
