Fernando Pessoa will be hosting an open lecture in Pharmaceutical Sciences on 28th May, from 09:00 to 10:30, on the theme “When Every Minute Counts: The Community Pharmacist's Intervention in Poisoning”.

The session will take place online and will feature the participation of Professor Márcia Carvalho, Doctor of Toxicology and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences (FP). Organised within the scope of the curricular unit of Toxicology II of the Integrated Master's Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, the initiative is aimed at the academic community, students and professionals in the pharmaceutical field.

During the session, topics such as the poisoning landscape in Portugal, the most frequent toxic syndromes, the pharmacist's intervention in providing first aid, and a review of practical cases will be addressed. The lesson aims to highlight the fundamental role of the community pharmacist in preventing, recognising, and acting in poisoning situations, contributing to a faster and more effective response in emergency contexts.
