This programme is designed as a supplement to the Full Blood Count scheme for laboratories that prepare therapeutic blood components. The scheme supplies specimens for haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit and platelet count at the levels found in blood components, beyond the normal physiological ranges.
UK NEQAS Haematology is the expert centre within the UK National External Quality Assessment Service (UK NEQAS) for all aspects of Haematology diagnostic testing external quality assessment (EQA), with almost 5,000 UK and international registrations and a further 3,000 individual practitioners in our educational morphology programme. UK NEQAS Haematology provides a wide range of EQA services for automated cell counting, blood morphology, haemoglobinopathies and other inherited red cell disorders. Participants may select the combination that fits their laboratory profile, making the Scheme flexible and adaptable to participants’ needs.
