Strategic Proficiency Testing
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Proficiency Testing looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on internal auditing, data integrity and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence. Delegates leave able to work confidently with proficiency testing, method validation and quality management systems in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put proficiency testing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Improve method validation within their own organisation
- Spot where quality management systems is failing before it becomes a finding
- Explain reagent management to someone who does not do the work
