New Kit – Syringe Driver
Following a successful funding application, we have purchased our first medical syringe driver. Thanks to a grant from the Manchester Guardian Society, we have bought a Micrel Syringe Pump which we will use to treat patients who might have suffered a cardiac arrest or have received a pre-hospital anaesthetic from the team.
