The 41st EAPCCT Congress will be a virtual event.
Our custom is to welcome the Clinical Toxicology world to a great European location to share our science and experience in person and to build friendships at social events. However, a virtual congress also facilitates participation of those normally unable to attend to get a ‘flavour’ of the EAPCCT meeting.
Registration is now open; there are special booking offers for early registrants and for SPIs at poisons centres worldwide. For details see the congress website www.eapcct2021.com.
