Janet Atkins, Trinity’s corporate partnerships manager said: “Syringe drivers administer medication continually over a 24 hour period and are a vital item of equipment to ensure patient comfort .
"But these are expensive; and as more patients enter our service so the demand for syringe drivers increases. We really appreciate this gift, which will help our nurses provide excellent palliative care.”
