Chemical Pathology
The RCPAQAP Chemical Pathology discipline programs are run in association with the Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists (AACB) whose members provide expertise and assistance via specialised Advisory Committees. The Advisory Committees are involved in setting target values, providing expert opinion for reports, participant queries, and collecting and preparing quality assurance material.
