Managing Technical Record Keeping

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 root cause analysis and supplier qualification 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 reagent management, accreditation preparation and method validation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Take ownership of reagent management rather than escalating it, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
Explain accreditation preparation to someone who does not do the work
Put method validation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Make a decision about data integrity without waiting for a specialist
