The MedTech and medical devices market for the UK has changed. Companies large and small, having weathered the impacts of COVID-19, are now faced with further challenges as the EU’s MDR comes into effect and we march towards the time limit on marketing CE marked devices and in vitro diagnostics within the UK and the introduction of the UKCA. These changes present opportunities but companies will have to be prepared if they are to remain profitable, whilst both maintaining compliance and in achieving compliance for their new devices and diagnostics.
Fortunately the Midlands boasts a thriving ecosystem of MedTech organisations, networked to provide end to end support for driving innovations from “bench to bedside”. Companies within the Midlands have a multitude of development services which they can access to help take them from ideation to regulation. This webinar in partnership with the Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF) aims to highlight these services and map out how to both access them and get the most out of that interaction.
There will be an opportunity to put your questions to the presenters in a Q&A session after the presentations.
