STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES<br />
Standard Operating Procedure 26: Storage &<br />
Return of Slides<br />
(CPA Standards: A4, A9, A10, D3)<br />
At <strong>the</strong> end of each circulation, <strong>the</strong> slide sets are retained indefinitely by <strong>the</strong> last<br />
laboratory to receive <strong>the</strong>m <strong>for</strong> educational purposes. The schedule is organised<br />
so that <strong>the</strong> teaching hospitals are usually last in <strong>the</strong> circulation <strong>for</strong> this reason.<br />
One slide set is retained by <strong>the</strong> QA Reference Centre <strong>for</strong> audit purposes. These<br />
are stored in solid slide containers in a secure locked room with restricted fob<br />
access. Cases are filed in slide sets by circulation.<br />
If a participant requests a case to be returned <strong>the</strong> <strong>Scheme</strong> Secretary is obliged to<br />
do so. The facilitator must record details of <strong>the</strong> date <strong>the</strong> case was returned and<br />
<strong>the</strong> reason <strong>for</strong> doing so. If <strong>the</strong> case is part of a set it should be removed from<br />
scoring and counted as not being suitable <strong>for</strong> <strong>EQA</strong>.<br />
