Advanced Microbiological Testing
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into measurement uncertainty, internal auditing and the judgement calls that sit outside good laboratory practice. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does. Delegates leave able to work confidently with laboratory safety, method validation and technical record keeping in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put laboratory safety on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against good laboratory practice
- Review method validation and say plainly whether it is working
- Bring technical record keeping into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of supplier qualification rather than escalating it
