Internal auditing is fundamental to any quality improvement initiative. Many hospital laboratories have adopted the ISO 15189 Quality Management System standard. A fundamental element of all Quality Management System standards is the measurement of system & process performance using a process based approach. The method for determining this is to conduct internal audits. Trained auditors must carry out these audits.

This two day course focuses on auditing for real quality improvement as well as compliance. The course provides detailed training in developing the skills necessary to be an effective internal auditor using many fun exercises including preparing for, performing and reporting of a real audit.

Attending delegates should have a good working knowledge of ISO 15189.
