Officers may also be encouraged to develop a specialist interest in non-laboratory-based disciplines that are identified by laboratory management as priorities to support the diagnostic and surveillance functions of the service. Alternatively, and particularly within central laboratory divisions, Research Officers may be required to focus on a more specific discipline (e.g. anatomical pathology, bacteriology, virology, veterinary public health, veterinary risk assessment etc.) or sector (e.g. pigs, poultry, equidae, etc.), developing in-depth expertise and providing technical advice, risk assessment, investigative and supportive role to RVL colleagues, other DAFM Divisions, the livestock and agrifood sectors.
