The Central Quality Assurance Scheme (CQAS) is the only CPA (EQA) accredited scheme in the UK which offers EQA for general haematology, haemostasis, haemoglobinopathies and plasma viscosity. The Scheme currently operates predominantly in the UK and Ireland.

You can select the EQA packages which best represent your test repertoire. One order form, one invoice.

This web site currently provides an electronic format of the CQAS User Manual which is no longer issued by the Scheme as a paper document. It includes information regarding the Scheme, details of the Steering Committee, EQA packages, unsatisfactory performance criteria and contact names and numbers.   

The Scheme holds Annual Haematology Update meetings in Birmingham which are open to participants and non-participants.
