From the outset, British EQAS's have had the objective of maintaining high clinical laboratory standards by providing help, support, and education to participants in a confidential setting.In this way, the professions within pathology have kept their own house in order and have taken responsibility for maintaining high standards and, in doing so, have avoided a licensing system for laboratories.
EQAS's are available which cover Schilling tests and Red Cell Volumes. Further details can be obtained through the UK NEQAS website . The British Nuclear Medicine Society would strongly encourage any centre carrying out non-imaging tests for which there is and EQA scheme available to join such a scheme to ensure quality and best practice. |
