Three days that turn laboratory staff into confident ISO 15189:2022 internal auditors who can plan, conduct, report and follow up an audit.
Internal audit is the most reliable tool a laboratory has to confirm that its quality management system works and keeps producing technically valid results for patients and clinicians. ISO 15189:2022 requires every accredited laboratory to audit itself at least once a year, and that audit is only as good as the people who plan and run it.
This three-day course equips participants with practical auditing procedures and a working command of the ISO 15189:2022 requirements. You learn to assess conformity against the standard as it applies to real laboratory operations, identify improvements, report findings professionally and drive corrective action to closure.
The audit skills you build carry over to other accreditation schemes. Laboratories preparing for CAP accreditation use them for the required self-inspection, and hospitals preparing for JCI accreditation use them for mock surveys and tracer-style reviews.
Competency-based sessions using interactive teaching methods, practical audit exercises and case work. Facilitators are experienced medical laboratory experts who work as practitioners and trainers in the field. Every quarter we run one in-person cohort in Nairobi and one live online cohort, each of 5 to 30 participants.
