This unit will provide learners with an introduction to the principles of good experimental design and reporting. The unit aims to develop the scientific skills and understanding of the learner by encouraging them to effectively research, review, analyse and debate current scientific theories from the available published literature, and draw accurate conclusions or action plans […]
With tutor Lucy Whitfield MA VetMB DLAS PGCert(VetEd) FHEA MRCVS This 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. Online only – 20 and 26 November; 4, 11 and 17 December (1PM-3PM) This […]
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 […]
With tutor Lucy Whitfield MA VetMB DLAS PGCert(VetEd) FHEA MRCVS This unit will introduce the learners to the theory and practice that underpins effective work-based training. Learners will leave the course with sufficient knowledge, confidence and skills so they can design, deliver and set assessments to effectively develop work-based knowledge, attitudes and skills effectively. Online only – 8th […]
Having the knowledge and confidence to work safely in the laboratory is a valuable skill for all animal technicians. This course will cover basic theoretical and practical laboratory skills including following COSHH risk assessments, best laboratory practice, use of fume hoods/biosafety cabinets, centrifuges and other laboratory equipment, pipetting skills, using balances and preparing reagents and […]
With tutors Romuald Binet PhD & Ilaria Cervellini PhD This unit provides an introduction to the theory relating to minor procedures. It provides information about appropriate methods of handling and restraint and describes appropriate techniques for injection, dosing and sampling relevant to the species. It should provide information sufficient for individuals to understand what will be required of […]
This 2-day course provides practical training in how to perform a basic standard mouse necropsy and describe gross observations made during the process. It then covers considerations for the treatment of tissues collected at necropsy, some of the routinely used solutions and the cutting in of tissues in preparation for histological processing and embedding. Following […]
