The next Demystifying Quality and Regulatory workshop will be taking place in person on Thursday 14th of November. This workshop is ideal for start-ups and research groups considering the commercialisation of a medical device.

This workshop will help you:

Understand the concepts involved in regulatory requirements and quality management
Explore the key parts that regulatory and quality play in the commercialisation journey for a medical device
Understand key considerations for the implementation of a regulatory strategy and quality management system

This will be an interactive workshop with opportunities to break out into groups to work on real world examples. So come ready to participate and put into practice what is learned along the way.
