This is a “must do” module for anyone who works in the pre-hospital, Emergency Medicine, Primary Care, or Critical Care fields in Australia.

With the Australian summer fast approaching and interactions between people and many of our venomous and poisonous creatures set to increase, there’s never been a better time to brush up on your bites, stings and envenomation knowledge and skills!
