I would definitely recommend this book to all staff with an
interest and involvement in intravenous drug therapy. The
Pharmaceutical Journal There is no doubt that nurses will find this
small book useful. It should be available for consultation in any
clinical area where drugs are administered to patients by the
injectable routes. Journal of Clinical Nursing The safe
administration of injectable medicines is key to patient safety.
The NPSA recognises the use of injectable medicines is a high risk
activity and recommends written information about injectables to be
available at the point of preparation. The UCL Hospitals Injectable

covering many important aspects of administering medicines by
injection. It provides clear, concise information on the
preparation and administration of over 245 injectable medicines for
adults, paediatrics and neonates. It is an essential resource for
nurses and other healthcare professionals: it provides the key
