• Clinicans Health Channel evaluation report 2008

Early in 2008 an external evaluation of the Clinicans Health Channel (the channel) was performed by Stamford Interactive. The report prepared by the evaluators described a much appreciated and much used resource. The report also included recommendations about the future development of the channel, some of which have already been followed, and others that will be considered as the re-development of the channel proceeds. The recommendations contained in the report are suggestions made by the evaluators and though all will be thoroughly considered not all will be applied. If you have any questions about the report please contact Andrew Clarke on (03) 9606 8381 or andrew.clarke@dhs.vic.gov.au

  The optimal management of most patients with paracetamol overdose is usually straightforward. However, several differing nomograms and varying recommendations regarding potential risk factors for hepatic injury introduce complexity.

  In order to reconcile management advice with current Australasian clinical toxicology practice, revised guidelines have been developed by a panel of clinical toxicologists consulting to the poisons information centres in Australia and New Zealand using a workshop and consultative process.
