Quality Assurance in Pathology Committee

Quality Assurance in Pathology Committee is a multidisciplinary group accountable to the College for the oversight of performance in external quality assurance (EQA) schemes and monitoring of the EQA performance of clinical laboratories in the UK. This is achieved via discipline specific panels which report to the committee. In turn, the Quality Assurance in Pathology Committee will work with failing laboratories but is also bound to report persistent poor performance to the Care Quality Commission.

Chair: Dr Berenice Lopez
