Fundamentals of Sample Management
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Sample Management is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through sample handling and chain of custody and quality management systems 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, equipment calibration and internal auditing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put technical record keeping on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Bring equipment calibration into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of internal auditing rather than escalating it
- Improve proficiency testing within their own organisation
