Practical Method Validation
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through laboratory design and reagent management on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with non-conformance management, sample handling and chain of custody and document control in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put non-conformance management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against good laboratory practice
- Improve sample handling and chain of custody within their own organisation
- Review document control and say plainly whether it is working
- Bring data integrity into line with current good practice
