Corrective and Preventive Action for Non-Specialists

2 days|Delivered on request

Corrective and Preventive Action for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through reagent management and non-conformance management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with document control, data integrity and sample handling and chain of custody in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Put document control on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
  • Spot where data integrity is failing before it becomes a finding
  • Improve sample handling and chain of custody within their own organisation
  • Make a decision about equipment calibration without waiting for a specialist
