Document Control Auditing and Assurance
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether quality management systems and root cause analysis are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion. Assurance work is under scrutiny because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence. Delegates leave able to work confidently with sample handling and chain of custody, proficiency testing and laboratory safety in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where sample handling and chain of custody is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Review proficiency testing and say plainly whether it is working
- Improve laboratory safety within their own organisation
- Put data integrity on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
