Clerkship Program Description : We provide direct clinical care for toxicology patients admitted to our hospital, which covers both adult and paediatric patients, with daily weekday rounds on those patients lead by consultants (attending) physicians. In addition to pharmaceutical overdose presentations, being based in central London with a large number of night-time economy venues (bars, nightclubs) nearby we see a significant number of acute recreational drug toxicity presentations. We also run the only UK clinical toxicology outpatient clinic where we see a range of new referrals related to chronic poisoning.
