在英国，大约有130个病理外部质量评估计划。大多数是由国家卫生服务机构提供的，但也有一小部分来自私营部门。应卫生署邀请，临床病理学评审(英国)有限公司已为这些计划制订评审制度。认证的基础是计划组织者宣布符合62项标准和现场检查。截至2000年底，已有105个计划获得认可。临床生物化学、血液学、免疫学和微生物学学科的大部分方案现已获得认可，但细胞病理学和遗传学学科的非数值方案进展较慢。(C)2001 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
There are some 130 pathology external quality assessment schemes available in the United Kingdom. Most are provided from within the National Health Service, but a few from the private sector. At the invitation of the Department of Health, Clinical Pathology Accreditation (UK) Ltd. has developed an accreditation system for these schemes. Accreditation is based on scheme organisers declaring compliance with 62 standards and an on-site inspection. As of the end of 2000, 105 schemes have been accredited. Most of the schemes in the disciplines of Clinical Biochemistry, Haematology, Immunology and Microbiology have now been accredited, but progress has been slower in non-numerical schemes in the disciplines of Cellular Pathology and Genetics.
