Fundamentals of Proficiency Testing
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Proficiency Testing is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through data integrity and corrective and preventive action without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with technical record keeping, accreditation preparation and reagent management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve technical record keeping within their own organisation, measured against ISO 9001
- Take ownership of accreditation preparation rather than escalating it
- Spot where reagent management is failing before it becomes a finding
- Make a decision about sample handling and chain of custody without waiting for a specialist
