The MHRA has been making a concentrated effort to streamline its approval process, and thereby to encourage medical device research in the UK. Among the recent changes, Research Ethics Committees (REC) now have special medical device committees, and the guidance governing submission of device applications to REC is being updated. A new Health Research Authority hs been established. The MHRA and RECs have integrated their application systems, and it will soon move to a new, unified portal. The list of changes is lengthy, and it should add up to a regulatory environment more conducive to device research. However, there are still key points to consider, and things you can do to make the regulatory journey as painless as possible.

This audio conference presentation provides attendees with the information they need to conduct successful studies in the UK, reviewing recent changes in the regulatory landscape and examining what they mean for device companies. Our speaker draws upon extensive experience, and shares tips for navigating through the approval processes quickly and efficiently, ensuring a timely start to studies in the UK.
