Free BHTA and Mtech Access webinar to highlight main challenges for medical device innovators
Mtech Access is partnering with the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) in hosting a free webinar that will discuss the UK’s evolving political landscape and what this means for healthcare technology innovators, including import and export challenges and medical device regulatory rules.
Entitled ‘Six areas of UK health policy for medtech to pay attention to’, the live webinar will take place at 2pm on 28 July 2023. Interested participants can register for free here.
The webinar is aimed at all market access, patient access, and regulatory teams across healthtech, medtech, medical device, and pharmaceutical companies. Attendees from the NHS are also welcomed.
All registrants will receive a recording of the webinar so are encouraged to register even if they cannot attend the live event.
During the webinar, Robert Hull, Senior Consultant – NHS Insight & Interaction at Mtech Access, will be joined by Bill Lee, Head of Policy and Compliance for the British Healthcare Trades Association, to explore health policy, regulation, and its implications for medtech, health technologies, and medical device market access.
The presentation will look at how the challenges of the pandemic and the changes brought about following Brexit, policy, and compliance in the UK have created a lot of uncertainty and changes within the sector.
With a predicted change in government at the next election, this uncertainty appears to be unwavering. The webinar will delve into what all this political change means for health policy, the regulatory regime, and market access.
Rob and Bill will highlight six areas that the medtech sector should be paying attention to. These include the new medical device regulatory regime; UK health and social care supply and procurement; sustainability and social value; addressing capacity challenges with effective health and social care packages; innovation, and the implications of Brexit for export and import .
