    Why you should attend:

    Quality management systems are now, more than ever, a requirement rather than an option for sustainable businesses, both for increasing internal efficiency and for creating a competitive advantage. The easiest route for establishing a QMS is to base it on a proven method rather than starting from scratch. Medical device service providers, contract manufacturers, service providers and OEMs will benefit from implementing quality systems based on ISO 13485.

    The first part of the seminar will provide you with training on quality systems and the requirements of the revised standard. The second day will focus on developing a plan for implementation and will provide helpful tools you can take back to your organization to kick-start the project.
