April 2021 | As in previous years, GameteExpert selects the best performers of andrology and embryology assessment. This year the three frontrunners for andrology come from Israel and United Kingdom and for embryology from United Kingdom and Hong Kong. |
Independently from UK NEQAS, GameteExpert determines the performance of each participant by calculating the match with calculated consensus. We considered only participants who have participated completely over the period of last two years. |
The UK NEQAS service will be carried out by the Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of United Kingdom National External Quality Assessment Service (UK NEQAS). |
