Managing Proficiency Testing
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers non-conformance management and root cause analysis 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 proficiency testing, laboratory safety and laboratory design in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring proficiency testing into line with current good practice, measured against ISO 9001
- Improve laboratory safety within their own organisation
- Make a decision about laboratory design without waiting for a specialist
