ESHG Quality Committee
In 2008 the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) established a Genetics Services Quality Committee (QC) to improve the quality and provision of genetic services in Europe. The QC consists of the co-ordinators of CEQA, EMQN, ERNDIM and CF Network as well as representatives of ESHG, ECA and other related organisations.
 
The QC acts as an oversight body for genetic EQA schemes, as a forum for discussing standards and harmonisation in genetic services as well as an advisory body to government and professional organisations.
