Book now Enquire

Develop your understanding of BS 70000 and its role in supporting quality, safety, governance and confidence within healthcare science services in this highly interactive two-day instructor-led course.

Designed for healthcare science service leads, quality and governance professionals, operational managers, clinical and technical specialists, accreditation coordinators, and staff supporting accreditation readiness, the course provides a practical introduction to the purpose, structure and key themes of BS 70000.

Through facilitated discussion, realistic healthcare science service scenarios and interactive activities, learners will explore how management system, technical and operational controls work together to support effective service delivery. The course focuses on recognising and understanding key principles rather than implementation, making it suitable for those who are new to BS 70000 or seeking a broader understanding of its requirements.

Key areas covered include quality management systems, governance and risk-based thinking, managing information and competence, service delivery controls, and approaches to monitoring, assurance and continual improvement. Learners will also develop the skills to recognise examples of complete, incomplete and potentially weak approaches within healthcare science service settings.
