"It is really valuable to see lots of reports from a wide variety of laboratories, and to pick up ideas for Best Practice in our laboratory."
"Interesting to see different perspectives and to discuss cases with other experts in the field."
"I enjoy discussing complex cases and find out others opinions on report content."
"Process is very educational and I consider participating as an assessor to be important for my own CPD, professional practice and to be of benefit for my department."
"I found it incredibly insightful to see other laboratories reporting strategies and learnt a lot from the more experienced assessors."
"The discussions we have at each meeting are very informative, and an opportunity to make sure everyone is up to speed with the latest guidelines."
"I like being involved in QA and educating people. Moreover, I find it important that EQA's are a reflection of the actual (scientific) situation in the field."
"Interesting to see reports from across the world and benchmark your own lab's work. EQA massively improves the quality of genomic testing lab reports for patients so that is very rewarding for me."
"It's a great way to learn and to think about your own reports and areas where they could be improved. "
