Enhancing Public Health Management of Chemical Incidents through Collaboration with Poison Centres: a Case Studies Based Virtual Symposium
A robust public health management of chemical incidents comprises surveillance, mitigation, prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. Poison centre capabilities can assist and support public health entities in these activities.
This symposium brought together representatives of poison centres and public health entities to present their experiences in responding to a chemical incident through case studies. These presentations place the relationship between poison centre and public health entities at the heart of the discussions, exploring the importance of their collaboration, as well as gaps and opportunities, in chemical incident management. The symposium culminated in a town hall discussion on fortifying their collaboration.
