Additional tools supporting implementation

Additional resources have been developed to support implementation of the European quality assurance scheme for breast cancer services.

Self-assessment tool

The tool is being updated to reflect the first official version of the European QA scheme for breast cancer services and will be made available to the public.

The self-assessment tool is intended to help services to evaluate their readiness before pursuing certification to the European quality assurance scheme for breast cancer services.

The tool follows the modular approach of the scheme and can be used to identify gaps in compliance to the requirements of the scheme. Breast cancer services may therefore use the tool as a quality improvement exercise but also to support their decision to apply for certification.
