QUATE Meeting

The Meeting of the QUATE Committee takes place annually at the event of the European Congress of Cytology before the opening of the congress. Results of the discussion are presented to the Council Meeting of the EFCS.

QUATE Exam

The QUATE test is a proficiency test for cytotechnologists who fulfill the criteria for accreditation in their own countries. The Quate exam is hold at least once a year, generally on the day of the opening of the European Congress of Cytology in English language. If you wish to sit this exam, please check with your national QUATE representative. The test is carried out according the "European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Cervical Cancer Screening".

Please send your applications to: Andrew Evered: Andrew.Evered@CardiffandVale.wales.nhs.uk

Next QUATE Exams

National societies are encouraged to support QUATE examinations and advice is available from Andrew Evered on how to organise an examination.

Register of Cytotechnologists holding QUATE Aptitude Test

Due to changes in administration of the QUATE exam there is no formal record of those cytotechnologists who have passed the Aptitude Test. Accordingly we would be grateful if national QUATE members would ask for copies of all certificates, verify and forward them to Andrew Evered so that a database can be established. The certificates do not expire. There is no recertification. A voluntary repeat of the exam is optional.

Quate Examination Board (Date of last change: 05.06.2008)

The next meeting of the QUATE examination board will take place in Madrid, before the QUATE Meeting. For Information contact Andrew Evered. Andrew.Evered@CardiffandVale.wales.nhs.uk

Practical Organisation, planning etc. of the test is carried out by the QUATE examination Board.
