A practical approach to quality management
It describes a pilot project to develop a quality management system for breast screening units based on the ISO 9001:1994 standard. This standard has now been replaced by ISO 9001:2000. Information about the new standard can be found on the British Standards Institution website.
Practical guidance on implementing systematic management of quality in the NHS Breast Screening Programme can be found in NHSBSP 42: Managing Quality in a Systematic Way: A Practical Guide.
