I have found very easy to use to access information and imagine in stressful resus situations it will be invaluable as a means of confirming doses etc quickly.

Assoc Prof Pamela Rosengarten, Monash University

We have PEMSoft up and running – it's great ... it is a really fantastic program and I used it a great deal in management of both adults and children - and introduce all of our registrars to using it
