    in reply to: HSE – GB public survey: use of biocidal chemicals when handling the deceased #5103

    Hi both,
    We have received the med school one too from the consultancy firm. Our DI is responding to them- only answering the questions she wants to as they do ask a lot which we think maybe against GDPR.

    We are doing the same in terms of asking more specific questions when accepting and FFP3 PPE
    But as we also work on fresh material we are looking into the possibility of testing also.

    in reply to: Workshops #3037

    Hi Natasha,

    We normally run a potting workshop here but we haven’t got enough pots now to run one. I’ve had 4 people email via the website asking for one so there is definitely interest. I’m sure a couple of my guys and Steve Gaze would love to run one in Birmingham with you if they are available. we have talked about this before that they could run one at a different institute as we have no pots left to fix! We have a set plan of what we do and know what we need for a group of 10 delegates if that is useful. Email me if you want to discuss further.

    Im sure a prosecting one would be appealing to many too.

    in reply to: Health and safety issues: cleaning dissecting equipment and lab coats #2265

    Hi Rachel,

    Sorry for the delayed response, have only just logged in.
    For equipment used on embalmed material we just use good quality disinfectant ( surgial standard) . For equipment used in our fresh frozen suite we have a very good instrument washer and we also autoclave kit if its stuff from a course lent by reps that will then go off site .

    in reply to: Ventilation #1455

    Hi Sarah,
    We embalm our large species by gravity feed in our large prep room which is all ventilated by the air handling unit that runs both the Vet Dissection room and the prep room. 15 air changes a minute.
    The standard PPE is worn , gloves ,wellies, lab coats or overalls. Full face respirators worn when decanting the embalming solution in barrel, but not needed in the room during the process as the air changes are adequate.

    in reply to: Specimen printer and labels. #1411

    Hi Rob,
    We print labels using a dymo label maker and then inset these labels into patient id bracelets that hospitals use. They last really well in our storage tanks . Not forever , but years.
