Who Should Attend
The participants in this course will already have experience in working in a laboratory context. The course is designed for those who wish to master how to implement and maintain a Quality Management System in their institution with a view to ensuring the quality of the laboratory data. The course explores quality issues related to continuous improvement and management of preventive and corrective actions and provides an opportunity for experienced personnel to update their competencies. Participants may come from:
• Life-Science Industries
• Academia
• Government
• Contract Testing Facilities Description
This 2-day, interactive, intensive course will explore the implementation of Quality Management Systems (QMS) with a view to guaranteeing the quality of the data generated by the laboratory. The course will use as its base references various regulatory and voluntary QMS, such as ISO17025 and Good Laboratory Practice. The Principles of quality management with the notions of traceability and change control will all be evoked during the course. All aspects of the QMS will be explored, including the cartography of the processes of laboratories, the control and monitoring systems, the implementation of indicators, documentation management, and management’s piloting role. The presenter will particularly consider the rationale to apply when developing and implementing a Quality management audit & inspection program. The course is designed to be interactive with considerable time provided for workshops and question and answer sessions. At the heart of the course and running throughout the various topics will be the need to optimize processes and always to think in terms of continuous process improvement with the ultimate goal of ensuring the quality of data issued by the laboratory and hence increasing customer satisfaction and confidence. The course aims to get each participant to address issues which are fundamental to the operation of their own laboratory.
