This module will cover the common considerations and issues concerning conformity and application in relation to measurement uncertainty (MU) in medical laboratory settings.
The module is designed to ensure greater awareness of the impact of precision in examination processes and to enhance the certainty and validity of intended results.
This module has been revised to reflect the requirements of ISO 15189:2022.
To enhance your learning experience, we have curated links to relevant further reading and a downloadable notebook for you to capture your reflections.
(NOTE: This module is the re-launch of the previous version that was based on ISO 15189:2012)
