EQA Assessment

The scheme is designed to assess the entire diagnostic pipeline of a laboratory, including sample receipt and processing, analytical processing (genotyping), and reporting (biological and clinical interpretation of the test result) in the context of a clinical referral, as well as reporting clarity, content and clerical accuracy.

Sample Details

Three mock clinical cases with matching samples will be provided.

Two 10µm FFPE sections per case are provided.

Samples are provided as cut sections (rolled scrolls / curls) only – we cannot provide slide mounted materials.

EQA Results

Participants will receive an individual report including educational advice and a scheme report which includes additional information from the cohort of participants including geographical spread, methodologies employed, common errors, learning points and scheme statistics allowing participants to benchmark their results.

Each laboratory will also receive a single certificate listing all EQAs participated in with performance result for each year.

Participation Information

Participants are expected to test the samples according to their routine strategy. For all cases, participants are expected to return a clinical report and complete an online data collection form.

This EQA is supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca and MSD, fees are subsidised so there is a reduced cost for participants. EMQN acknowledge and thank AstraZeneca and MSD for this support.
