Leading Sample Management 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 laboratory safety and non-conformance management 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 proficiency testing, method validation and root cause analysis in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring proficiency testing into line with current good practice, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
Make a decision about method validation without waiting for a specialist
Take ownership of root cause analysis rather than escalating it
Spot where quality management systems is failing before it becomes a finding
