I have worked in the animal research industry for 32 years, over half of which has been at Imperial College London. I started my career journey in this industry as an Animal Technician in 1992. I believe good connections between the researchers and animal facility staff are critical for the progress of science and the welfare of animals, and my career path has been based on this belief.
I also believe that continued learning and development help to promote staff engagement. Therefore, I train my staff to meet the highest standards of animal welfare. I encourage staff to talk to the researchers they work with, visit their lab meetings, and attend seminars to understand the research conducted in our facilities. This enables discussions on how improvements can be made to their studies, like housing, habituation, or experimental techniques. It also allows us to offer additional training to improve animal welfare. (more…)
