The British Laboratory Managers Association has announced the dates for the next laboratory management training course.

It will be held at Brownsover Hall hotel, Rugby on 8^th & 9^th October 2014.

The course which has already been run successfully twice before in 2013 is specifically aimed to help current and aspiring laboratory managers deal with the challenges they face in managing people in a modern day laboratory.

Topics covered include:

• The background against which we manage people in 2014
• Practical leadership skills
• Communication in the workplace
• Working with others
• Managing change

Group working and small workshops will give the maximum opportunity for the exchange of ideas and to develop solutions with the emphasis on useful techniques that can be applied in day to day work. The sessions will be practical, relevant and fun! Delegates come away with practical plans they can implement
