Laboratory Accreditation for Non-Specialists

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

Laboratory Accreditation for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through corrective and preventive action and laboratory design without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, 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, proficiency testing and supplier qualification in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Explain technical record keeping to someone who does not do the work, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
Review proficiency testing and say plainly whether it is working
Put supplier qualification on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Bring document control into line with current good practice
