SUMMARY:Medical Device Clinical Strategy & Requirements Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Clinical strategy\, evidence and evaluation are central to product approval and market access. It’s a requirement of the new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR: article 61) that a medical device company have a regulatory strategy and of the MDR and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4 that the company have a clinical evaluation strategy. \nIn order to generate sales\, organisations need to have thought through the clinical elements for market access as this will put them back months\, if not years\, if not understood and completed when initially gathering clinical evidence. \nCompanies need to be prepared and have solutions in place to address this and their ongoing clinical requirements. Getting your clinical strategy wrong will delay approval and also access. \nLearning Outcomes \n• Understand the clinical strategy and how that fits within an overall company strategy\n• Understand the role of clinical investigations\, evaluations\, evidence and post market clinical follow ups\n• Understand how clinical evidence and the role of clinical strategy enables market access\n• Interact with fellow practitioners and presenters during the Q&A \nDelegate Fees \nSEHTA members: £125 + VAT \nNon-members: £175 + VAT \nTo find out more information or register your place\, please click here.

He has decades of relevant experiences to draw from; in industry\, as a consultant and as a trainer of regulators around the world on behalf of the European Commission. \nDelegate numbers are deliberately limited\, so the training can be sensitive to individual experience\, ability and needs.
