Digital Transformation in Microbiological Testing
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme examines how the practice is shifting, and what delegates should adopt, adapt or ignore. It works through root cause analysis and proficiency testing as they stand today and where they are heading. The shift is worth understanding because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence. Delegates leave able to work confidently with accreditation preparation, document control and sample handling and chain of custody in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where accreditation preparation is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Improve document control within their own organisation
- Make a decision about sample handling and chain of custody without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of data integrity rather than escalating it
