    If your laboratory is outside of the acceptable limits of performance for any its rolling time-window scores (A, B or C scores), this will be indicated by a red traffic light symbol. It is the responsibility of the laboratory to undertake an internal investigation to establish the underlying cause and put in place corrective and preventive action. Please do not wait to receive a formal notification of performance from the Scheme Organiser or the National Quality Assurance Advisory Panel (NQAAP) before logging the non-conformity and, where necessary, acting upon the data contained in your report. A green traffic light merely reflects that your laboratory is performing as well as the state-of-the-art allows; it does not necessarily mean that your assay / laboratory performance is good enough clinically. . The 'A-Score' is not available for Free Testosterone. Once we have accumulated more data points we will be able to calculate concentration-dependent degree of difficulty factors and put them in the same ‘currency’ as the A scores in other Schemes.

    You have until the close of Distribution 454 (03/07/2018) to submit late results / request amendments to results for Distribution 453. Please enter any late results or requests to amend non-analytical errors for Distribution 453 on the web under the usual Results button ensuring the correct Distribution number has been selected. You should include your name and a valid reason. Amending results is at the discretion of the Director and is not an automatic entitlement. We are not accepting any further requests to amend results or to change methods for Distribution 452.

    Distribution 454 will be dispatched on 12/06/2018 . Results are due back in Birmingham by, notionally, 23:59 on 03/07/2018. Where your results appear as "XPL", it is because you did not report a numerical value for that analyte, but you did provide an explanation as to why a result was not reported.
