Continuing professional development
Continuing professional development (CPD) refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work.
Toxicology
Resources for those working in toxicology, including links to upcoming College and CPD-accredited events.
Members of the College working in the field of toxicology:
- help identify potential side effects of medicines and chemicals before exposure to humans and the environment
- advise on the safe use of medicines and chemicals
- obtain regulatory approval for clinical trials and for commercial use of medicines and chemicals
- diagnose potential cases of human intoxication.
As such, toxicologists and pathologists working in this area do so in a range of settings, including the health service, industry (pharmaceutical and chemical), regulatory authorities and commercial / private laboratories.
I just love being in the lab – method development especially. Let’s say a new drug appears that we need to screen for. We have to develop a method to measure it, and it’s a matter of how accurate we can make that test.
