Events

LASA events bring together like-minded people with specialist interests and expertise with specific focus on the areas covered by our sections.  Our annual meeting in November each year is a collective community effort, bringing together animal science professionals with a wide variety of roles from across the sector, including academia, pharma, biotech, and government agencies.

DOPS

Workplace-based assessments, such as DOPS (Direct Observation of Procedural/Practical Skills), are used to assess how an individual performs in the authentic working environment and are well validated as an assessment method in healthcare and other settings.

The LASA DOPS resource is undergoing a review and is therefore not available at this time. More information can be found in our “Guiding Principles for Supervision and Assessment of Competence as required under EU and UK legislation” document in the Resources section. 

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.
