On-line teaching module

I have submitted an on-line teaching module on carbon monoxide, aimed mainly at emergency physicians (of all grades.)
This will hopefully be available in October 2007 via the College of Emergency medicine website, and www.doctors.net.uk.
More details and relevant links to follow soon.
