Medical Technology UK

In a new report just published by the UK Government, the Regulatory Horizons Council (RHC) reviews the overarching question,

"How can the UK encourage international investment, innovation and improve safety in the medical devices area through regulatory and non-regulatory changes?"

This question is particularly timely in the context of three major contemporary events: the UK's exit of the European Union (EU), Europe's transition of its regulatory framework, and the global urgency of the COVID-19
pandemic.

It is an extremely interesting read and summarises with, "Here is an opportunity for the UK, as we leave the EU, to be a global leader in the development and evaluation of medical devices. We have our own thriving medical devices industry, but we also have a unique and enviable trinity of a respected independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and a globally respected independent agency for assessing efficacy and value for money through the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the best international GP, hospital and clinical audit data. So, in my view, we are better equipped than any other country to meet the challenge and harness the opportunities offered by this explosion in technology."
