The Scottish Poisons Information Bureau was established in Edinburgh in September 1963 and shortly afterwards one of the wards of the city's Royal Infirmary was designated a Regional Poisoning Treatment Centre. Both units were soon to be brought under one roof. To mark this 50th anniversary, we review how they built upon a history dating from the early 19th century and highlight their influence on current clinical toxicological practice and the delivery of poisons information. While many centres worldwide seek to improve the care of poisoned patients, the contribution of Edinburgh over the past 50 years has been notable.
苏格兰中毒信息局于 1963 年 9 月在爱丁堡成立，此后不久，该市皇家医院的一个病房被指定为区域中毒治疗中心。这两个单位很快将被合并在一个屋檐下。为了纪念这一 50 周年，我们回顾了它们如何在追溯到 19 世纪早期的历史基础上发展，并强调了它们对当前临床毒理学实践和毒物信息提供的影响。虽然世界上许多中心都在努力改善中毒患者的护理，但过去 50 年来，爱丁堡的贡献是值得注意的。
