Veterinary Poisons Information Centre

Veterinary Poisons Information Centre

Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS) is a members only service. We are a 24-hour telephone emergency service providing information and treatment advice on poisoning cases in animals. We provide direct support to veterinary professionals.

Each poisoning case is directly handled by one of our specialists (An experienced team of vets, vet nurses and toxicologists). VPIS can provide advice on the effects of thousands of toxic substances in all species of animal.

We work with Vetacademy to provide 10 online CPD modules, about the most common poisons seen in animals. 

We have class-based CPD course dates aimed at keeping vets and vet nurses up-to-date in small animal toxicology.

The course will cover:

• Case histories for potential poisons cases
• Decontamination for poisons cases
• Toxicology information resources
• Common or tricky poisonings in cats and dogs
