Using colour coded labels
We use colour coded syringe labels as a safety check to make sure the right medicine is given for each breakthrough symptom.
You can also record the medicines on our colour coded fridge or wall charts:
- Standard resources (fridge chart)
- Resources for Aboriginal families and Torres Strait Islander families (wall chart)
- Community palliative care resources (wall chart)
Printing syringe labels
You can print the syringe labels yourself or use a printing company.
Use our printing cost comparison to see which one is cheaper.
