Strategic Microbiological Testing
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Microbiological Testing looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on internal auditing, corrective and preventive action and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training. Delegates leave able to work confidently with laboratory safety, non-conformance management and equipment calibration in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve laboratory safety within their own organisation, measured against good laboratory practice
- Explain non-conformance management to someone who does not do the work
- Bring equipment calibration into line with current good practice
- Review supplier qualification and say plainly whether it is working
