Practical application
Develop or improve a procedure using an agreed example. Focus on the instructions needed to carry out the task correctly, without rewriting useful existing documents or adding unnecessary detail.
What your team should take away
An approach to writing usable SOPs and checking that they reflect real work. An SOP supports competence and safe, consistent delivery; it does not replace task-specific risk assessment, training or supervision.
