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 anonymised results by the deadline using their standard laboratory report or a proforma provided by GenQA. The submitted results are independently assessed for the accuracy of the analytical/genotyping results, clinical interpretation of the results (if appropriate) and clerical accuracy (including report layout and content).
What can I expect as a participant?
Every participant will receive:
An Individual Laboratory/Centre Report (ILR/ICR) with educational advice for each distribution of this EQA.
