VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Animal Research Ethics: Essential Knowledge
*Expanded and Updated!
“Any use of animals for scientific purposes must be ethical, humane and responsible.” NHMRC, 2020
Animal research has a long history in health and medical research. It is supported by various arguments including the ability to generate data that will be useful for treating disease in humans.
To prevent undue suffering, ethical considerations in animal studies are critical. Join us in this interactive workshop that explores the ethics and regulatory guidelines of animal research.
If you are a researcher, ethics advisor or animal ethics committee member, you play an important role in protecting the safety and welfare of animals involved in research.
You can claim 4 CPD points on completion of the workshop.

- Apply the guiding ethical principles, documents and state and territory legislation in your daily work

- Understand the various stakeholders and their responsibilities
