SUMMARY:Best Practices in Laboratory Management
DESCRIPTION:Laboratory management is a subject that is often learned on the job\, with limited training opportunities for those new to the role. This course is aimed at both researchers who are new to management\, and managers who are new to the laboratory setting. It will provide a foundation of knowledge in various areas of laboratory management that participants can use to improve practices in their own workplace. \nA sustainability module is also included. This module is designed for laboratory leaders and decision-makers\, focusing on strategies to reduce the environmental impact of laboratory operations. It highlights how leadership can drive sustainable change by implementing policies and practices that minimise resource consumption and promote responsible innovation. Participants will examine practical and strategic approaches to enhance sustainability across laboratory systems — including optimizing energy efficiency\, reducing plastic and water usage\, and fostering sustainable supply chain partnerships. \nWho is this for? \n\n\n 	Researchers who have recently moved into laboratory management\n 	Managers who are new to science\n\nThis course covers topics including: \n\n\n 	Laboratory Health and Safety\, including Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH).\n 	Sustainable Laboratory Practices\n 	Inventory Management\n 	Quality Management Systems\n 	Research Integrity

SUMMARY:Practical Laboratory Skills
DESCRIPTION:Having the knowledge and confidence to work safely in the laboratory is an essential skill for all staff working in laboratories. This course will cover basic theoretical and practical laboratory skills including preparing COSHH risk assessments\, good laboratory practice\, use of fume hoods/biosafety cabinets\, centrifuges and other laboratory equipment\, pipetting skills\, using balances and preparing reagents and solutions.\n\nA sustainability module is also included to highlight ways to reduce the environmental impact of laboratory work. Participants will explore practical ways to improve sustainability in the laboratory by reducing energy consumption and minimising the use of plastics and water and promoting more sustainable supply chain practices.\n\nWho is this for?\n\n 	Research Staff\n 	Technical Staff and students new to the laboratory environment\n 	Experienced personnel looking to refresh their skills\n\nAfter the course you will be able to:\n\n 	Prepare and understand the purpose of Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) risk assessment (RA) forms\n 	Understand the importance of good laboratory practice\, including choosing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and maintaining accurate laboratory records\n 	Correctly use fume hoods\, biosafety cabinets\, centrifuges and other general laboratory equipment\n 	Choose the correct pipette for your task and perform common techniques\n 	Set up and use balances correctly\n 	Prepare reagents and solutions\n 	Adjust the pH of solutions\n 	Incorporate sustainability considerations into laboratory work to support efficient and environmentally responsible research\n\n\n\n\nThis training is approved by the Royal Society of Biology. Training course approval is an independent review process that recognises relevant\, high quality training. Upon completion of this course\, attendees can claim 21 CPD points.
