SUMMARY:Establishing a culture of care in research animal facilities
DESCRIPTION:With tutor Lucy Whitfield MA VetMB DLAS PGCert(VetEd) FHEA MRCVS\nThis unit will provide the learner with the opportunity to consider the concept of a ‘Culture of care’ and to discuss ways in which it can be developed within the animal facility.\n\nOnline only – 20 and 26 November; 4\, 11 and 17 December (1PM-3PM)\n\nThis course does have some pre-reading to complete. It will not take more than a couple of hours.\nCourse Details\nDiploma Credits: 10\n\nIAT CPD Credits: 30\n\nTutor: Lucy Whitfield\nYou will cover\n\n 	Culture\n 	Culture of care\n\nKey Skills you will develop\n\n 	Ability to identify the different types of culture that can exist in a working environment\n 	Knowledge and understanding of processes to develop and promote an effective workplace culture of care\n 	Ability to critically appraise influences that impact the culture of care in the workplace\n 	Ability to evaluate the effectiveness of the culture of care\n\n*Further IAT fees may apply

SUMMARY:Mouse Genetics and Colony Management for Researchers
DESCRIPTION:This course explores more complex genetic topics\, including multiple allele crosses\, complex disease models and will inform breeding strategies and experimental design rather than give a complete guide to the molecular biology. Our team of experienced trainers will support you to examine how different modifications lead to different breeding strategies\, the importance of genetic consistency and integrity and different modes of inheritance. There will be multiple workshops throughout the course and a focus on troubleshooting unexpected issues when looking after Genetically Altered (GA) mouse lines. \nWho is this for? \n\n\n 	Colony Managers\n 	Researchers\n 	PhD Students\n\nAfter the course\, you will be able to: \n\n\n 	Understand genetic drift and how to maintain the genetic integrity of simple and complex GA lines\n 	Understand GA nomenclature and why it is important\n 	Predict the outcomes of genetic crosses involving multiple alleles\, including chromosomal linkage and sex-linked genes\n 	Perform multiple allele inheritance and breeding calculations\n 	Understand the fundamentals of different methods that give rise to GA mouse strains\n 	Troubleshoot breeding and colony maintenance issues\n 	Know the basics of breeding conditional transgenic models\n 	Discuss blinding and randomising GA experiments
