Wildlife module aimed at students who will be undertaking studies in an outdoor or ‘wild’ environment.
Students will typically be involved in studying the habitats and behaviour of animals in the natural environment.
These animals are protected by wildlife and environmental legislation and are often on public grounds such as national parks. Access can require complex permissions.
The module will address the complex legal regulations which apply.
Experts on Avian, Mammalian and Aquatic environments will share their experiences and guide students in the areas of capture and handling of the various species.
Veterinary experts will describe the challenging aspects of anaesthesia, analgesia ,surgery and euthanasia in the field.

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
