Regulating medical devices post-Brexit

Talking Europe: The UCL European Institute podcast

Professor Derek Hill, UCL Centre for Medical Image Computing Would the UK benefit from becoming an independent regulator on medical devices after Brexit? In conversation with the European Institute’s Clément Leroy, Derek Hill discusses how medical devices are currently regulated at international level and what impact Brexit might have on this highly innovative, fast-moving policy area. As fears of a no-deal scenario grow, Derek argues that Brexit could be a catalyst for getting the UK research and business community to work better with regulators. This could help drive forward innovative thinking on how medical products get to the patients that need them, while ensuring they are safe and effective. The podcast is part of our new Brexit and Beyond series.
