Welcome The RCPA-AACB Chemical Pathology Quality Assurance Programs offers a range of External Quality Assessment Schemes especially designed for use in medical diagnostic testing laboratories.  This site gives an overview of the range of analytes available across the schemes and how they are organised into discrete programs. It also highlights the underlying program philosophies and discusses the general operating procedures. Educational materials relating to the interpretation of reports and program performances are also provided. Program participants are encouraged to register via the Login Section of this site to gain full assess to the on-line result submission and report review facilities. The report review section also has an interactive facility, which allows the examination of performances for nominated sub-sets. We welcome your participation in the program and invite you to contact us if you have any further queries. Dr Ken Sikaris - Chair Chemical Pathology QAP Group Janice Gill  - Co-ordinator
