Enrolled participants will receive details by email when an EQA is open for assessment and/or samples have been dispatched.
Participants are expected to access the instructions and information for the cases/samples online and to analyse them according to their laboratory/centre protocols.
Participants must submit their answers online by the deadline. The submitted results are independently assessed for the ability of a Clinical Genetic Counselling department to diagnose the condition, select or suggest appropriate tests, offer counselling to the family and suggest appropriate patient management.
What can I expect as a participant?

An Individual Laboratory/Centre Report (ILR/ICR) with educational advice for each distribution of this EQA.
