Users will then receive an activation email. Once the account is activated users can log in to the app using the username and password chosen during registration. NHS, UKHSA & MOD users must register using their NHS/UKHSA/MOD email to obtain free access to the full TOXBASE database. In order to continue free subscription re-validation via NHS/UKHSA/MOD email is required annually. Users are automatically sent an e-mail reminder.

Disclaimer The information on the TOXBASE App is designed for healthcare professionals and requires expert clinical interpretation. Users are strongly advised to always discuss cases with their local experts in poisons management and not solely rely on the App to make medical decisions.
