Leading Laboratory Accreditation Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers method validation and reagent management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with measurement uncertainty, laboratory design and data integrity in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve measurement uncertainty within their own organisation, measured against ISO 17025
- Bring laboratory design into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of data integrity rather than escalating it
- Spot where accreditation preparation is failing before it becomes a finding
