Culture of Care Symposium UK 10th October 201
*************************************************
The National Committee for the Protection of Animals used for Scientific Purposes (NCPA) is planning a national 3R training event for members of Animal Welfare Bodies (AWBs) and for Animal Ethics Committees on 4 October 2018.
The objectives of this event are to:
- Increase awareness of 3R good practices, not only within projects, but also within establishments and all aspects of animal care and use (breeding stock, use etc.).
- Increase awareness of 3R resources, including the role of AWB and information officer.
- Exchange ideas among establishments with regard to the application of the 3Rs, with special regard to peer to peer knowledge sharing between like-minded establishments (rodent, fish, large animal).
- Provide HPRA feedback on requirements for 3Rs and common issues in the assessment of applications.
- Increase awareness of how the NCPA can assist us in the implementation of the 3Rs in our establishment. Register
