Review from previous edition From reviews of the previous edition:'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'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'I would highly recommend it as a resource handbook for any service where syringe drivers are used for symptom control.'Centre for Palliative Care Research and Education'What.are the benefits of 'upgrading' to this new edition.

[i]s it worth the investment? Will it make a difference to your practice? The answer to both these questions is undoubtedly, yes. The second edition is a 'must have.' I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If using or advising on CSCIs in clincal practice, having the first edition of The Syringe Driver is not good enough. The text itself is essential, but only the newest edition willdo.'European Journal of Cancer Care, Vol 16.
