Last-Ireland is a training programme and support structure to help the
scientific community in Ireland to use research animals in accordance with best international and national practices.
Courses are structured as Common ‘Day 1’ and a species specific ‘Day 2’
It is possible to sign up for a ‘Day 1′ course. Complete that exam and subsequently do a species specific ‘Day 2‘ course (e.g. Rodent, Aquatic, Wildlife or Large Animal)
We also offer ‘Blended courses’ which can be given to small groups.
These are presented in a face to face format by a mentor using
prerecorded material.
(If you would like to arrange one of these please contact us )
HPRA often accept the Modular training courses from the UK and
other Member States (if a Irish ‘legal module’ is done)
Dates and Locations of courses run in the UK by the ‘Universities Training Group can be obtained by application to sec@last-ireland.ie

*************************************************
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
