Successful week long" Analysis & Examination of Food" course held at Reading
Course delegate Dr Jonathan Lovatt of Staffordshire Scientific Services during a Microbiology tutorial
Andrew Watson of LABhelp Ltd teaching microbiology to the course delegates
The course was, as always, intensive for the delegates but reflects the pressures in a modern official food and feed control (Public Analyst) laboratory. Some of the delegates are studying for the Mastership in Chemical Analysis, the statutory qualification required to practice as a Public Analyst and several sessions were devoted to demystifying the exam process encouraging other delegates to consider taking the qualification. Some of the lectures were given by Public Analysts currently in practice while others were from experts outside the profession. This enabled mutually beneficial contact to be made and once again networking was a much valued informal aspect of the event, to the extent that some delegates have set up a Linkedin Group to foster communication. All delegates recorded that they enjoyed the course and considered that it met their expectations to a high degree.
