TOXICITY | July 2010
Poisons and their treatment

This one day workshop will assist you to discover and understand many of these toxins. It will discuss not only the effects of certain toxins and their treatment but also the nursing care that can be implemented to accelerate recovery time and improve their prognosis. A range of toxins will be covered and case examples implemented to demonstrate the importance of nursing.
