The Network has an annual series of Quality Workshops for Stakeholders and laboratory members.
The purpose of these Quality Working Groups are to discuss:-
- How we are performing in specific QA schemes
- Are existing schemes appropriate to our needs? How could they improve and do we need any more schemes?
- Specific quality and audit projects which individual labs have undertaken
- QUALITY ASSURANCE
- Quality Assurance - A Clinical Introduction
- The use & benefit of cognitive & interpretative quality assurance schemes
- Maintaining and Improving Quality in the Detection of Inborn Errors of Metabolism
- Metabolic Network Quality Assurance Day - 22 October 2003
- Summary of the QA meeting of the National Metabolic Biochemistry Network on Friday 29 October 2004
- EXTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE
- Ensuring Quality in the Absence of EQA
- Quality Assurance Schemes for Metabolic Tests
- ERNDIM Update 2011
- Innovations from Birmingham Quality (UK NEQAS Birmingham) for Newborn Screening
- Possible Solutions to Lack of External Quality Assurance
- Sample Exchange:Ideas for a new way forwards.
- External Quality Assurance Scheme for Lysosomal Enzymes
- MetBioNet Quality Day - January 2011 Bristol
- Measurement of Uncertainty
- Quality and uncertainty in screening assays from taking the sample to issuing the result
- The concept of uncertainty of measurement from a lab perspective interfacing with clinical users
- Uncertainty applied to monitoring, particularly in relation to PKU and MSUD
- Uncertainty in diagnostic metabolite assays - white cell cystines as an example
- Uncertainty in enzyme assays
- Uncertainty in qualitative assays based on the organic acid ERNDIM scheme
- Uncertainty in qualitative schemes based on the ERNDIM DPT scheme results
