Dear Ladies and Sirs, Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to inform you that the EUROMEDLAB Congress in Munich, Germany has been rescheduled to April 10-14, 2022.
Following the recent postponement, this new date has been chosen based on the recommendation by the organizing committee and members of the IFCC and EFLM Executive Boards also taking into account both congress venue and hotel space availability. Suitable space was not available during the fall of 2022.
We are looking forward to welcoming all our invited speakers, registered delegates, and exhibitors to this rescheduled conference in Munich, the beautiful capital of Bavaria.
We also take the opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling of the conference.
In these times, it is a challenge to balance the desire to meet in person with our safety concerns for you as the participants. With increasing levels of immunity and widespread immunizations, we are confident to be able to meet all of you at this important international event to celebrate the end of the COVID-19 epidemic together!
The Organising Secretariat MZ Congressi will be contacting all parties involved (Speakers, Sponsors & Exhibitors, Delegates, Poster Presenters, and others) with further information.
Kind regards,

Dear Colleagues,
The IFCC webinar on “Proficiency Testing/ External Quality Assessment: Program designs and practical approaches for addressing unexpected results" was held on 22 November, 2021.
Although proficiency testing has been a well-established part of the laboratories quality assurance system for many years, maintaining successful performance can still be challenging. Due to the recent high staff turnover in medical laboratories, there is a continual need for training to interpret EQA results and address identified performance issues.
Proficiency Testing (PT) is a method that allows for the comparison of a laboratory's test results with an assigned value from an external source. Developing corrective and preventive actions requires understanding the program's design and using systematic root cause analysis techniques.
The IQMH Immunology proficiency testing program covers a broad array of immunology analytes, including protein electrophoresis. The proficiency material used is converted serum from a single patient to most closely representing true patient specimens. We routinely include material from patients with monoclonal gammopathies in our testing cycle, which at times can cause perceived erroneous results due to analytical interference.
Failures, also known as discordant findings, may indicate non-conformities to specified protocols and must be investigated to identify the root cause. Therefore, the process of investigating factors requires a systematic approach to all the inputs that ultimately produce a reported result. Quality improvement is achieved when problems in the system are corrected, and measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of the identified error. A thorough yet efficient approach is important for timely intervention especially when patient results may be affected.
Certificate of Participation: available for all participants.
The IFCC Live Webinar Series is partially sponsored by Siemens and Boston Children's Hospital
