POCT Urine Drugs of
Abuse EQA Scheme
Scheme Advantages
New Scheme for 2015
Over recent years, the demand for PoCT Urine DoA testing has risen rapidly. PoCT Drugs of Abuse testing offers
instant screening for common drugs of abuse by Healthcare Professionals in a wide range of settings which is often
required for a variety of medical, professional and legal reasons.
The Weqas PoCT Drugs of Abuse EQA scheme was recently launched and is free of charge until April 2016.
Why Weqas?
This Pilot scheme has been introduced with the aim of designing an improved product for testing that is
commutable, stable and fit for intended purpose. During this pilot, we aim to assess current PoCT practice
including decision thresholds, criteria for result interpretation and report formats. We also provide education and
training to understand the importance of evidence based quality assurance for minimising pre-analytical errors and
reporting of erroneous test results.
