Fundamentals of Laboratory Quality Management

Laboratory and Quality Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Laboratory Quality Management is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through supplier qualification and sample handling and chain of custody without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with proficiency testing, internal auditing and technical record keeping in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Improve proficiency testing within their own organisation, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
Review internal auditing and say plainly whether it is working
Make a decision about technical record keeping without waiting for a specialist
