Proficiency Testing in the Public Sector
3 days|Delivered on request
Proficiency Testing in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including root cause analysis, 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, laboratory safety and equipment calibration 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 ISO 9001
- Bring laboratory safety into line with current good practice
- Spot where equipment calibration is failing before it becomes a finding
- Make a decision about proficiency testing without waiting for a specialist
