Key updates and critical changes for medical laboratory services, outlining the transition considerations of ISO 15189:2022 from ISO 15189:2012, including, but not limited to; the focus on clinical utility, obligations to the patient and risk management.
This highly interactive blended course (1 day classroom and approx 1 day coursework) is designed for organisations planning to undertake the transition to the new version of ISO 15189 (2022) for medical laboratory examination and testing. This event will support learners in their understanding of the new standard relating to the competence and quality of Medical Laboratories.
This course is split into three sections:
Part One – Self-directed eLearning module (mandatory completion required prior to access to trainer-led sessions), taking approximately four hours to complete
Part Two – One-day trainer-led face-to-face/virtual workshop
Part Three – Self-directed eLearning module including a post-course effectiveness check and further reflections to consolidate your learning, taking approximately three hours to complete. This module is not mandatory but is recommended, as it further expands on other requirements not covered in detail during the trainer-led session.
Please ensure you read the minimum requirements for this course before booking to attend.
NOTE: This transition training course focuses on critical changes from the 2012 version of ISO 15189 to the new 2022 edition. It is not suitable for organisations and customers without experience and knowledge of the previous requirements within ISO 15189:2012.
