The Future of Medical Device Regulation in the UK – Do you know that the regulatory framework for the manufacture and supply of medical devices in the UK is changing?

The MHRA is running a consultation, with both members of the public and industry, to help shape their future approach to regulating the Future of Medical Device Regulation in the UK.

They want to develop a future regime for medical devices which enables:

  • Improved patient and public safety;
  • Greater transparency of regulatory decision making and medical device information;
  • Close alignment with international best practice, and;
  • More flexible, responsive and proportionate regulation of medical devices.

The consultation runs until the 25th of November. The MHRA have included a video of their recent Industry webinar on how to submit your views here:

The supply of Medical Devices is not part of the scope of a WDA(H) licence, however many suppliers use the same quality systems to manage devices supply as used for the supply of medicines.
