Workshops - Accreditation in genetic testing laboratories

Aims

The specific objectives are to compare and share experiences of implementing and working with quality systems and to examine cases of concrete situations related to quality processes that may arise in laboratories, like non-conformities, reporting, training etc.

Furthermore the common deficiencies in a quality management system and the ways to proceed for accreditation will be discussed during expert-led interactive sessions in small groups.

ISO 15189 will be used as the reference standard during the workshop.

Target group

For those who would like to learn more on quality management and accreditation.
For those who would like to improve their current quality system.
These workshops are of equal value to accredited and non-accredited genetic testing laboratories.
Participants include laboratory directors, scientists, technicians and quality managers.
The number of participants is limited to 25.

The workshops are in English or French.
