- IQA is multi-factoral but in essence any primary graded photograph are part of the IQA = random 10% of routine review (R0M0) are sent to be review captured a second grader to compare findings. as im part of the training scheme 100% of my photos go for IQA by means of second grading
- internal quality assurance (IQA) is the first step in preventing harm to patients and ensuring a safe and efficient service. National quality assurance processes will check that each programme has a good IQA process in place for the control of grading. Its expected the consistency of grading to improve across the country as this new process is rolled out. This will benefit the DES programme as a whole and, most importantly, patients

- Organization
- Typically, an EQA scheme consists of several rounds per year. In each round several (or many) participants receive test items, which are also called samples. The EQA organizer is also called the provider. The organizer ensures that the test items are sufficiently similar and homogeneous, typically according to ISO 13528. Often the test items' properties and analyte concentrations are known to the organizer, but not disclosed to participants before the final report. However, there are also many schemes where the organizer doesn't know the sample composition. The participants' results are then compared to check if any participant had a bias towards e.g. higher values, or an unexpected imprecision. At the end of each round, the EQA organizer sends out reports and/or certificates to the participating laboratories.
- QA visits happend between 3 & 5 yearly depending on prioritisation
