The Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS) is an internationally renowned poisons information service, advising on the management of poisoned animals. 

The service was officially launched in 1992 and has since assisted with over 300,000 cases.  We provide 24-hour telephone advice for veterinary professionals on the diagnosis and management of poisoned animals.  In addition to operating our telephone advice line we also publish reviews and reports using data collected from poisons enquiries in scientific journals and magazines, perform toxicosurveillance (monitoring trends in poisoning) and teach at various universities and veterinary colleges. 

The VPIS is a division of ESMS Global Ltd , formerly part of Guy’s and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust based in London. ESMS Global Ltd (formerly known as Guy’s Poisons Unit) was established in 1963.
