Edinburgh Clinical Toxicology is made up of the Scottish Poisons Unit’s toxicology ward and National Poisons Information Service - Edinburgh Unit, alongside University research groups led by Professors James Dear and Michael Eddleston. We provide clinical care and lead impactful research on paracetamol poisoning, drug-induced liver injury, pesticide self-poisoning, and more.
Initiatives like the Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention, NIHR RIGHT4 Acute Poisoning project and the South Asian Clinical Toxicology Research Collaboration underscore our commitment to global health.
Recognised for our impact, we've been featured in three University of Edinburgh Impact Case Reports for the UK’s Research Assessment Exercise. Explore our comprehensive approach to toxicology research and patient care, aimed at improving outcomes and saving lives.
