Accreditation and Quality

Thank you for continuing to send samples to the Biochemistry Department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. In April 2025 we had a UKAS inspection to assess compliance to ISO15189. This assessment highlighted known deficiencies in the processing of external quality assessment (EQA) samples. While all analytes remained registered with an EQA provider, factors out with our control led to gaps in result reporting and review. In response to these gaps UKAS are suspending our accreditation for a subset of analytes until July 2025. A comprehensive list of affected analytes is listed within the letter to users.

As a department we are working hard to retrospectively review any outstanding EQA and fully expect accreditation for all effected assays to be reinstated in July. Service users will not experience any changes to the routine operations of the department during this period.
