Sample Management in the Public Sector
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
Sample Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including reagent management, document control and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with technical record keeping, method validation and quality management systems in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of technical record keeping rather than escalating it, measured against ISO 17025
- Explain method validation to someone who does not do the work
- Put quality management systems on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Review internal auditing and say plainly whether it is working
