In September last year IQN Path was invited to Geneva to the World Health Organization to represent the viewpoint of pathology in an international discussion on external quality assessment.
This meeting resulted in a new publication from the WHO entitled ‘WHO manual for organising a national external quality assessment program for health laboratories and other testing sites.’
IQN Path’s contribution resulted in a paragraph relating to external quality assessment in tissue based pathology.
The WHO manual is now freely available here for distribution and use in training programs.
