About Us

Quality Assurance

At Wickham Micro, we have strong focus on quality assurance when it comes to pharmaceutical and medical device testing. We run regular audits from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure our continuous GMP and GLP compliance.

Key to our success is our total commitment to providing a quality testing service, combining high levels of client satisfaction together with the maintenance of appropriate accreditation. To enable us to meet such demanding ambitions, we operate an independent Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) to oversee all our test facility related activities.

To ensure complete control of all of our testing activities, our Quality Assurance Unit details four main functions:

  • Study plan checks for GLP compliant work
  • Procedural inspections
  • Report reviews
  • Facility inspection and audits

In addition to these core functions, the Quality Assurance Unit oversees:

  • Supplier and sub-contractor qualification
  • SOP & quality manual maintenance
  • Maintaining change controls
  • Test report inspection
  • Review of the quality system

Our quality system is in a constant state of evolution as methods and test procedures are updated, and both regulatory and client inspection recommendations are instituted as a matter of course. We maintain an audit ready facility at all times and regularly receive positive feedback during the auditing process from our clients, industry peers and regulatory authorities.  Consequently, we are proud of how our services are recognised in the industry and our ability to deliver consistent, high quality testing no matter what the laboratory discipline.
