The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) has published a leaflet outlining the importance of continuous improvement in the conduct of animal science.
The leaflet on Culture of Care was unveiled at a joint webinar with the RSCPA addressing the challenges faced by animal welfare bodies, with a focus on developing a structure to drive forward improvements in animal welfare.
It encourages all staff that work in institutions that use animal research to take an active role in promoting openness and transparency, and support for animal welfare staff, in line with the five categories framework set out by EFPIA: company values, strategic approach, implementation structures, staff support, and animal care and procedures.
