Leading Microbiological Testing Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers laboratory safety and root cause analysis from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with sample handling and chain of custody, technical record keeping and corrective and preventive action in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review sample handling and chain of custody and say plainly whether it is working, measured against good laboratory practice
- Bring technical record keeping into line with current good practice
- Explain corrective and preventive action to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of reagent management rather than escalating it
