| Description: | This part-time modular training programme, running in its present form since 1992, is the largest training programme of its type in Europe and attracts participants from all over the world. It is designed to provide in-post scientists with advanced training and a higher qualification in toxicology. Participants include employees in government departments, contract laboratories and pharmaceutical, chemical and consumer product industries. Industry, contract and government agencies throughout the world need experienced staff with expert knowledge in toxicology. There is increasing demand for formal qualifications and qualification revalidation in the health-related professions. Economic pressures and work commitments make long-term release of staff for training in toxicology a challenge. This modular training programme in Applied Toxicology meets this challenge. |
