Event - Train the trainer workshop (WP1.8)

WP1.8 will set up a team of expert trainers with the following objectives:
- To create a sustainable source of expertise on quality management and accreditation for medical labs, for use in the workshops and trainings
- To set up a pool of expert trainers that can run the workshops on quality management and accreditation for labs
- To support expert trainers in developing knowledge and skills concerning the preparation, execution, evaluation and follow-up of workshops (Train-the-Trainer) and to provide them with the necessary training materials and formats
- To provide a forum for expert trainers in which they can share experiences and best practices.

To date, the workshops have concentrated on specialized medical genetics laboratories; but the creation of a larger team can extend the scope of participants to other medical laboratories with a strong interest in quality management.

Aim of the kick off meeting:
- We want to discuss the objectives and the way of working of the network in more detail with the whole group
- We want to offer the experts a short ‘Train-the-Trainer’ session, during which the specific methodology used in the workshops will be explained
- We would like this first workshop to be an occasion for the members of the Trainers’ Team to get to know each other better and to enjoy working as a team.
