The information on TOXBASE® requires expert clinical interpretation (ideally users should complete the TOXBASE® E-Learning modules; click here) and, therefore, should only be used by clinically trained medical/nursing professionals, who are responsible for the correct interpretation of the relevant clinical case history.  In severe or complex cases, including multiple ingestions, you should always discuss your case with your poisons service: in the UK NPIS 0844 892 0111, in Ireland NPIC (01) 809 2566.

TOXBASE® entries should not be used as patient information sheets.

Information provided by users during telephone enquiries to NPIS or from TOXBASE® questionnaires is shared between units for the purposes of managing individual patient episodes and for routine surveillance purposes.

Callers/TOXBASE® users are informed that they should be aware that information that they provide may be seen by other NPIS units and used in this way.
