1. INTRODUCTION ON BS 70000

The standards published by ISO undergo changes periodically, to reflect the best-suited  practices over the changing times. ISO series of standards For a business unit to successfully set up a BS 70000 Medical physics and clinical engineering accreditation management systems or get maximum benefits from an established management system, auditors within the organization have to be trained to assess the system BS 70000 Medical physics and clinical engineering accreditation requirements. They must also be able to assess their suppliers required management system to support own Quality Initiative.

To increase professionalism, quality auditors also seek formal registration with the IAF-AB (UK & INDIA) one of the prerequisites for such registration requires the quality auditors and practitioners to successfully complete an IAF-AB (UK & INDIA) approved auditor training. 

2. OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE ON BS 70000:

The objective of the course is to illustrate the importance of the 4 Days Advance Training Programme role, skills and competency in bearing the ultimate responsibility for the effective performance of the audit team. A practical and intensive course for training quality professionals to External, Internal and manage third and second party audits of an BS 70000 Medical physics and clinical engineering accreditation Management System.

Course describes how to plan and perform an audit, report findings, conduct opening and closing meetings and establish follow-up action. You will understand by the end of the course how regular auditing by an audit team directed by a competent internal auditor is the foundation of an effective BS 70000 Medical physics and clinical engineering accreditation Management System. On completion of the course, you will have the necessary skills and the experience to Internal Audit and manage your own audits. The learning process will include a series of tutorials, exercises, culminating in both practical and written examination. Delegates will be supplied with a bound set of comprehensive course notes.
