As part of our commitment to develop the services and External Quality Assessment (EQA) programmes provided by this centre we are redesigning the Leukaemia Immunophenotyping (LI) programme to better reflect current hospital laboratory testing protocols. These changes are based on the format and findings from educational exercises A and B, previously issued within this programme.
