Abstract

The ‘Enhancing Hospital Laboratory Standards for Continuing Professional Development: A Quality Improvement Toolkit’ project, which was funded by the European Union’s Lifelong Learning Leonardo Program, has successfully developed several novel continuing professional development (CPD) activities for use by Biomedical Scientists within European hospital laboratories. This paper reports on transnational evaluation of the third European CPD activity which is based on the pre-analytical phase, by hospital laboratories in Croatia, Czech Republic, Malta and the United Kingdom.
