Fundamentals of Microbiological Testing
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Microbiological Testing is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through measurement uncertainty and data integrity 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 sample handling and chain of custody, quality management systems and corrective and preventive action 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 good laboratory practice
- Take ownership of quality management systems rather than escalating it
- Put corrective and preventive action on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Bring document control into line with current good practice
