Managing Method Validation
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 supplier qualification and method validation 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 root cause analysis, sample handling and chain of custody and reagent management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put root cause analysis on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against good laboratory practice
- Make a decision about sample handling and chain of custody without waiting for a specialist
- Explain reagent management to someone who does not do the work
- Bring non-conformance management into line with current good practice
