Quality Assurance

Work Package Aims

Aim The aim of the Quality Assurance work package is to help ensure the quality of MarBEF products. Approach We will achieve this aim by: raising awareness of the importance of quality assurance in all aspects of scientific work developing a MarBEF QA framework providing information and advice to allow individual laboratories to improve their own in-house AQC procedures individual projects in MarBEF encouraging participation in existing national or international QA schemes (e.g. BEQUALM) developing a MarBEF Procedures database.

Whilst we will continue to attend meetings/workshop to raise the profile of QA matters, the majority of communication will be undertaken through these webpages.

The work package will operate in a spirit of encouragement. It is not our intention to 'police' the network, merely to provide advice and information in support of MarBEF activities.
