Non Conformance Management in the Public Sector
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
Non Conformance Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including equipment calibration, quality management systems and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with sample handling and chain of custody, proficiency testing and corrective and preventive action in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put sample handling and chain of custody on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against good laboratory practice
- Take ownership of proficiency testing rather than escalating it
- Review corrective and preventive action and say plainly whether it is working
- Explain laboratory safety to someone who does not do the work
