Really interesting discussion on the problems with accreditation and challenges of EQA. There is a need for lab professionals to agree key performance standards that can be related to patient outcomes & assure quality, not compliance. @ACBFocus #FOCUS_2019
On my way to speak at @ACBFocus in Glasgow. Really looking forward to the discussion on accreditation
