Update-course in LAS Everyone involved in animal studies must maintain and document
competence through continuous practice and education. |
||
|
If you took the basic LAS
course before July 1 2015 or if you did your basic LAS training more than 5
years ago, you should participate in an update course as a new regulation went into force
from that day. |
The Norwegian
Regulation on the use of animals in research (§24) say “Users must be
continuously updated by practical work and education”. |
|
|
The Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science
Associations (FELASA) say: “3R improvements develop fast nowadays and the
modern scientist must be aware of latest developments, whether they concern animal
care, experimental design or model refinements and alternatives.” |
