The system of UK national external quality assessment schemes (NEQASs) has been developed over more than 20 years, using logical criteria for scheme design and operation, and their usefulness is supported by evidence of continuing improved performance. The UK approach has built on the enthusiasm and knowledge of individual experts working to provide a fully integrated system of EQASs to facilitate the provision of reliable patient care.
