The Knowledge Network organised two day courses on Introduction to Microbiology Method Validation/ Verification and Measurement of Uncertainty for food safety laboratory staff across the island. The course allowed food testing laboratory staff to understand concepts, terminology, sources of information and approaches to method validation. It also covered how laboratory verification methods can be correctly performed and estimating uncertainty, including how to interpret/ report results using measurement uncertainty. The courses were held in Belfast, Dublin and Cork in September and October with 44 participants from both public and private food safety laboratories. The feedback was very positive with 100% of attendees saying that they would recommend the course to their colleagues.
