Research into human poisoning with veterinary products

 

The University of Sydney in conjunction with the NSW Poisons Information Centre (PIC) is conducting research on human poisonings and exposures to veterinary products.  This includes veterinarian and veterinary practice staff exposure and the general public who contact veterinary practices or veterinarians after exposure to veterinary products.

Our research team has designed a survey for veterinarians who are members of the Veterinary Practitioners Board of NSW (Board) to complete.  The survey is voluntary and all data presented from research will be completely non-identifiable.  Completion of the survey is considered consent, however you can exit the survey at any time.  More information about the survey is provided in the survey link.  The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete. 

Registered members of the Board should shortly receive an email to their practice or hospital email address with access to the survey (email addresses were not supplied by the Board).  Alternatively if you wish to participate and have not received the email please contact the study team for details on how to participate, or follow the link provided below.
