Leading Method Validation Teams
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers measurement uncertainty and internal auditing from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with technical record keeping, accreditation preparation and sample handling and chain of custody in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about technical record keeping without waiting for a specialist, measured against good laboratory practice
- Take ownership of accreditation preparation rather than escalating it
- Spot where sample handling and chain of custody is failing before it becomes a finding
- Improve method validation within their own organisation
