Although we’ve had overwhelmingly positive feedback\, we have had frequent requests to include more information on other sources of pain and distress. Matt Leach\, Jon Gledhill and I have been working to achieve this\, and have redeveloped and updated our workshops for 2025. We will now present two\, linked workshops on pain and distress and the first of these will run in May this year (21-22nd for the zoom sessions). We will retain the successful on-line format of a mix of e-learning\, pre-recorded webinars and live\, problem based sessions using zoom and mentimeter. This first workshop focusses on optimising the welfare of laboratory rodents and rabbits and will discuss both procedure-related and other sources of pain and distress. It will provide an overview of animal welfare and the nature of stress and distress\, together with the practical application of this knowledge to optimise animal welfare.

Join us for an exclusive workshop\, organised by the LASA PELH Committee\, to explore the critical topic of replacement animal models and their current limitations.  \n\n\n\nWorkshop Overview \n\n\n\nWhile advancements in replacement models continue to progress\, the question remains: How do we encourage updates\, what are their current limitations\, and how do we communicate the message of essential animal research integrated with alternative systems? This workshop will provide an in-depth discussion on the challenges and future directions in replacement methodologies under the Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986\, as regulated by ASRU.  \n\n\n\nKey Themes \n\n\n\n\nFuture pathways: What is current and next for replacement methodologies? \n\n\n\nIdentifying the limitations of current replacement models \n\n\n\nCommunicating the need for animal models to the public and stakeholders \n\n\n\nInstitutional approaches to replacement \n\n\n\nInsights from key organisations\, such as the NC3Rs and Replacing Animal Research \n\n\n\nGovernment policy updates on the “Roadmap for Replacement” \n\n\n\nThe latest public opinion on animal research  \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is designed not as a showcase of replacement models but as a critical discussion on their use\, current limitations\, future directions\, and the continued necessity for whole-animal models in specific research areas.  \n\n\n\nAt the end of the event there will be an informal networking session with other PELhs over drinks. \n\n\n\nThe full scientific programme will be published soon.
