NORECOPA Refinement Wiki now available

Posted by Administrator | Apr 21, 2020 |

NORECOPA (Norway’s National Consensus Platform for the advancement of the 3Rs), in collaboration with a team of international lab animal specialists, has developed and tested a Refinement Wiki, with the aim of providing lab animal staff and scientists with a place where they can publish information about refinements to animal experiments.

The Refinement Wiki is available at https://wiki.norecopa.no

NORECOPA hopes that animal carers and technicians will contribute actively, since they are often the pioneers of new refinement methods.

The wiki is designed to fill the gap between full-scale scientific papers (which require time and money) and the discussions that take place in electronic media but which are not archived. The wiki can only be edited by bona fide members of the lab animal community and associated scientists.

INFO

LASA CPD SCHEME

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a prerequisite for many professional medical and scientific disciplines but less common for those involved in laboratory animal work.

Revision of Directive 86/609EEC requires that persons “are adequately educated, competent and continuously trained” (Article 23A). The scheme is available FREE to LASA members. Please contact the Secretariat for more information.
