Laboratory Quality Management Auditing and Assurance
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether quality management systems and sample handling and chain of custody are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion. Assurance work is under scrutiny because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does. Delegates leave able to work confidently with data integrity, laboratory safety and proficiency testing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about data integrity without waiting for a specialist, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Put laboratory safety on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Explain proficiency testing to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of document control rather than escalating it
