A collaborative group of researchers representing: The Moredun Research institute (RESAS B3); The James Hutton Institute (RESAS B3) and SRUC (A2 case study 4) visited Lewis and Harris to conduct workshops and provide training on roundworms diagnostic methods. Five training sessions were held engaging a total of thirty five crofters during the weeklong visit in October 2022. The engagement with the crofting communities was positive with information provided on biosecurity measures, disease awareness, treatments and methods of diagnosis. The participants were keen to engage and requested information on developing the facilities for themselves in their own communities and on an individual basis.

This is a report on a knowledge exchange event but is useful as a record of a successful engagement
