Toxicology/CBRN working group |
Expression of interest
The poisoned patient represents a significant proportion of an Emergency Department’s caseload. The management of the majority of these complex patients, often with concurrent mental health and other medical issues, usually remains within the ED. CBRN (including hazard material incidents) meanwhile remains a significant risk to an Emergency Department’s population and service provision.
The College is therefore establishing a Toxicology/CBRN Working Group to promote and develop the subjects of toxicology and CBRN medicine in order to improve patient outcome, assist emergency physicians’ professional development and support college activities internally and in partnership with other organisations.
As part of the process of establishing the working group, we need to know the depth of interest and expertise within our specialty at present, and gauge interest in the development of a ‘virtual network’ of individuals in this field. Anyone with a professional interest in either toxicology or CBRN (or both) is asked to register below, indicating qualifications held (Diploma or MSc in Medical Toxicology etc), current activities and whether you would be interested in contributing to the working group.
We look forward to hearing from you.
