I did the BT NEQAS a little while ago and got the result today... i got it right...
I got to do the DAT NEQAS back in September. I got the result today – I got it right.
While I was
pleased about that, why does it take so long to come back? Had I stuffed it up
then clearly I would be doing something wrong and would need to revisit what I do
on a day-to-day basis. And in the meantime I would have possibly made mistakes
on two months’ worth of work on real patients.
I suppose
that is unlikely – IQC would show that up… wouldn’t it?
I got to do the Rh phenotyping NEQAS back in September. I got the result today – I got it right.
Rh
phenotyping in a pain in the glass (as my grandson would say) - for me
the tricky bit is getting the suspensions right. It’s effectively double the
strength of any other suspension we prepare, but we then only use half the
volume that we usually use.
So why not
use the usual amount of a usual preparation?
