Injuries: Medical Treatments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance his Department provides to (a) NHS local health boards and (b) trusts on treating jellyfish stings.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The General Medical Council sets the overall standards and outcomes for medical training, and the Royal Colleges develop the specific curricula for each medical specialty.
The Department does not provide guidance to National Health Service trusts or integrated care boards on this topic. Patient-facing information on how to treat jellyfish stings is already available on the NHS website.
