| Description |
EuroGentest (EUGT) is an EU-funded Network of Excellence (NoE) looking at different aspects of genetic testing – such as quality management. Through a series of initiatives, EuroGentest encourages the harmonization of standards and practice throughout the EU and beyond within genetic testing services.
Since 2005, interactive training workshops for small groups were organized on different topics related to quality management. The aim is to aid laboratories in the process of developing and improving quality systems and working towards accreditation. These workshops also contribute to the harmonization of the approaches to accreditation and to create a network of laboratories with a common goal – improving the quality of their services.
Topics such as laboratory quality assurance and accreditation, which are very important in medical laboratories, are not commonly addressed in (inter)national scientific meetings. This symposium aims to respond to this shortcoming and bring together people working in diagnostic laboratories. In contrast to the interactive approach of the EUGT workshops, this symposium mainly consists of presentations. |
