The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which began in December 2019, presents a significant challenge for the entire world. The UK Government and the Devolved Administrations, including the health and social care systems, have planned extensively over
the years for an event like this – UK Government, gov.uk/coronavirus.
To support the National Campaign to beat this threat to lives, the National Technician Development Centre (NTDC) has been tasked to enable the collection and dissemination of information and resources from the HE sector and research institutions. This will improve the
speed of connectivity between service and product providers and those that require additional resource support. Full details are available on the Covid-19 tab on the NTDC website and we have a dedicated email that we can be contacted on directly covid-19-resources@ntdc.ac.uk
We are asking you, if you have information on products, services, information or online courses that could be provided or shared, to complete 1 or 2 google forms so that we can update our Covid-19 resources web pages accordingly.
Google form 1: Resources, collections and information
- Section 1: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Section 2: Equipment, Consumables, Reagents
- Section 3: Laboratory Services (Including Testing)
- Section 4: Approved Methodology for Production & Processes
Google form 2: Online training and webinars for technicians
To support technical staff with any technical, soft skills or potential personal and professional
development goals we are looking to host details of any online training courses and webinar
services (either that you carry out yourself, or whether you know of an online course
provider). By you completing the Google form we can update our Covid-19 resources web
pages accordingly.
Your help in sharing links to any useful resources, information and courses will be invaluable
to our technical community, Thank you.
