It will cover the interventions needed for a variety of toxicological ingestions – which tends to spike during camping season and also amongst toddlers at home who access household cleaning products. Attendees will also learn how to list the red flags and detail a systems based-approach when managing trauma,” continued Prof. Al-Ansari.
