Quality Assessment

UK NEQAS
This website provides a comprehensive outline of what the UK NEQAS organisation is, what its major aims are, and how it is organised and managed. There are details about the schemes currently available, along with specific information about NEQAS centres for different branches of laboratory medicine. These include steroid hormones, microbiology, renal pathology and antibiotics. This site also contains information on forthcoming NEQAS meetings and others relevant to quality assurance and enables you to participate in developing the website which is currently being revised and restructured.

Westgard Quality Corporation Home
This site introduces the concepts of quality control (QC) from the perspective of James Westgard. There is a discussion about what is wrong with traditional QC. Some information about least squares variance and what that actually means in practice. Also for sale is a QC planning CD which introduces the multi rule interpretation theory. This is a very useful resource for Clinical Scientists and it is definitely worth a look.
