Poisons centre training manual - trainer's version

training materials for poisons information staff

Overview

The INTOX Poisons Centre Training Manual is being developed by an international working group of experienced poisons centre staff. The aim of the manual is to provide guidance and source material for those setting up new poisons centres or wishing to establish a training programme in an existing centre.

Each training document is in two parts: one for the trainer and one for the trainee. The trainer's document contains the same text as the trainee's version but also provides suggestions for training methodologies and also for additional points that the trainer may wish to emphasize. Suggested answers to the trainee's test questions are also provided.
