Clinical Leadership Invitation: OPC NAC Protocol Rollout Planning
Dear Colleagues,
The Ontario Poison Centre (OPC) is preparing for the rollout of a revised IV N-acetylcysteine (NAC) protocol for the treatment of acetaminophen poisoning, with a planned launch date of April 1, 2026.
Following a series of productive roundtable discussions with pharmacists across Ontario, Manitoba, and Nunavut, we are now inviting nursing and other clinical leaders to participate in a similar session. While the protocol has been finalized, your insights are critical as we shift our focus to implementation planning.
The goals of this session are to:
- Provide an overview of the finalized NAC protocol and key changes.
- Identify the supports, resources, or communications needed to ensure a smooth and safe rollout at your organization- with patient safety as our top priority.
We will host 60-minute virtual sessions via Zoom on four separate dates in September and October. If you’re interested in participating, you only need to attend one session; multiple options are being offered to maximize flexibility and participation.
Please sign up using the form below. Invitations will include the Zoom link, and the revised protocol + supporting resources will be provided in advance. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out.

OPC is grateful for your collaboration and support. Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues who may benefit from attending. We look forward to working together to ensure a successful rollout of this protocol
Sincerely,
The OPC Toxicology Team
