The University Laboratory Technologist and Technicians Association (ULTTA) has held a three-day workshop from 16-18th August 2023 at the Adzei Bekoe Science Conference Hall in the Department of Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology under the theme “Assuring Quality of Laboratory Results in A World Class Research Intensive University”. The workshop brought together 20 participants from units under the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS). Prof. Larry P. Chegbeleh who represented the Dean of SPMS to open the workshop noted that the competency of laboratory staff enhances the performance of a laboratory and its credibility and therefore urged participants to embrace the concepts of quality management systems. He commended the executives of ULTTA for its visionary leadership in organizing the workshop. The School Administrator of SPMS, Ms. Mawuena Abortta, in her remarks stressed the need for laboratory technicians and technologists to equip themselves with best practices in their laboratories to ensure accurate and reliable results. She emphasized on the need to acquire relevant trainings to make them versatile in a world class university. Mrs. Joyce Duah, the interim chairperson of ULTTA-UG, in her opening remarks addressed the need for laboratory technicians performing testing and calibration in the various laboratories to be abreast with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 standard. She emphasized that ISO/IEC 17025 is a global benchmark for laboratory quality management systems and ensures competency and valid outcomes of laboratories; thus promoting trust and acceptance of their results worldwide. She buttressed that it is imperative for university laboratory technicians to build capacities in these standard requirements to meet international trends. She reiterated that one of the objectives of ULTTA is to ensure that a critical number of pivotal laboratories become accredited as soon as possible. This, she believes, is in in line with the university's laboratory modernization and internationalisation drive and would therefore require the support of university management at various levels. The workshop engaged seasoned professionals from Ghana Standard Authority and Quality Control Company (Cocobod) who guided the participants through intricacies and requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 standard. The participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity highlighting the interactive nature of the sessions and practical exercises as particularly beneficial. The ISO/IEC 17025 workshop proves to be a valuable initiative in elevating the competencies of the laboratory staff. The executives of ULTTA requested university management to offer unflinching support to the success of the initiative to help transform its laboratories.
