Technical note:Beyond Good Laboratory Practice

Good laboratory practice 30 years on: challenges for industry.

The principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) have undergone little change since they were established 30 years ago. Conversely, there have been huge advances in science and technology during this time. Test facilities (TF) have been challenged to utilise these advancements and thus enhance the quality of their programmes of non-clinical safety testing. As a consequence, practices are very d...

Rules of good practice in the care of laboratory animals used in biomedical research.

In recent years, the use of laboratory animals has decreased as a result of the adoption of alternative methods such as in vitro experiments and simulation studies. Nonetheless, animal models continue to be necessary in many fields of biomedical research, giving rise to ethical issues regarding the treatment of these animals. In the present work, a general overview of the rules of good practise...

Involving Patients in Research: Considering Good Practice

Increasingly, patients and members of the public are involved in the design, conduct and dissemination of research. INVOLVE, the UK’s national body for patient and public involvement, usefully defines this sort of involvement as: ‘research being carried out “with” or “by” members of the public rather than “to”, “about” or “for” them’ (INVOLVE, 2012). At the Musculoskeletal Research Unit in Bris...
