McKinley T34 syringe driver training
Practical, model-specific training for healthcare staff who support patients receiving continuous subcutaneous infusion — safe awareness, monitoring, troubleshooting and escalation.
Part of our Syringe Driver Training programme · reply within one working day
The exact device your team uses, taught properly.
The course gives delegates a clear understanding of how the McKinley T34 syringe driver works, when it should be used, and how to support patients receiving continuous subcutaneous infusion. Training focuses on safe awareness, monitoring, troubleshooting and recognising when to escalate concerns.
Model-specific training ensures staff learn the exact interface, prompts and alarm messages they will encounter in practice — not a generic equivalent.
This session links directly to our main Syringe Driver Training course. If your team needs general principles across devices, start there; if you rely on the T34 daily, this is the closer fit.
