South West and Wessex

Welcome to the South West and Wessex section of the website.
Famed for its cider, surf and cream teas, our region stretches from Gloucestershire on the Welsh border, to Cornwall & Devon looking out to the Atlantic Ocean to Hampshire in the east meeting the Home Counties.

The aim of the SW&W regional committee is to provide support to the regional Members in terms of training, workforce planning, FCS issues and to encourage sharing of expertise and good laboratory practice by holding regional scientific meetings and providing feedback from national committee meetings.

South West & Wessex Local and Regional Audits

We are interested in the local audits that are performed around the region and are keen to encourage members to share their audits via a brief audit report template.
The aim of this is to share improvement ideas and help identify useful regional audit topics.
