The revised European Directive on animal research - a guide for UK institutions

With a revised European Directive coming into effect this Summer, Understanding Animal Research have produced a guide for UK institutions on how the new developments will affect practice.

The UK Home Office is expecting to bring national legislation into alignment with the revised Directive by Summer 2012, most likely through new regulations. Those using animals in scientific procedures may find it helpful to familiarise themselves with the upcoming changes to ensure a smooth transition to the new framework.
