SUMMARY:*Cancelled* WEBINAR: The Midlands Ecosystem of Bench to Bedside in the Era of MDR and UKCA
DESCRIPTION:**Unfortunately this event has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We anticipate that it will take place in early 2022\, details to be released in our fortnightly newsletter in due course**\nThe 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. \nFortunately 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. \nThere will be an opportunity to put your questions to the presenters in a Q&A session after the presentations. \nDuration 1 hr 30 mins \nThis free-to-attend event is held as part of the INSTILS programme – a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund\, click here to be re-directed to further information about the project.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: 10 months on from Brexit- where are we now?
DESCRIPTION:Ten months on from Brexit – we are seeing a set of challenges and opportunities facing the life science sector\, a time of technological change across fields like biotech\, medtech and AI. \nAmong the specific challenges are the new\, dual systems for mainland UK and Northern Ireland\, with NI needing to apply regulations flowing from Brussels. Sales in NI may require new Economic Operator arrangements\, for example.\nAlongside these challenges\, the UK is finding its feet in developing its own systems and structures. Opportunities like a more flexible and permissive regulatory model\, involving acceptance of goods approved elsewhere subject to proportionate\, risk-based controls\, could see a reduced regulatory burden\, especially for smaller innovators. The fresh approach proposed in the Taskforce on Innovation\, Growth and Regulatory Reform report offers a prospect of real benefits to industry. \nBusinesses across the sector also continue to face challenges and opportunities in recruiting and retaining talented staff. These include the new (but continually) evolving points based immigration system\, competition for the best people\, and staff engagement – all in the context of new ways of working as we begin to emerge from the Covid-19 lockdown. \nJoin Mills & Reeve at this webinar to hear from James Fry\, Isabel Teare and Tracy Yates as they consider the above challenges plus providing the opportunity for you to ask questions. \nDURATION: 1 hour \nSpeaker Profiles: \n \nJames Fry\, Head of Life Sciences and Partner at Mills & Reeve\nJames heads the firm’s fast growing\, multi-disciplinary life sciences practice and focuses exclusively on this sector. The practice supports clients in the pharma and biotech\, medical device\, diagnostic\, medtech and digital health sub-sectors. James’ own practice focuses on intellectual property\, commercial contracting and regulatory work. \n\nIsabel Teare\, Senior Legal Adviser at Mills & Reeve\nIsabel Teare is a Senior Legal Adviser at Mills & Reeve. She started her career in molecular biology\, and focuses on all aspects of life sciences law and regulation. \n\nTracy Yates\, Consultant\, Mills & Reeve \nTracy is an employment lawyer since with a business focused immigration specialism since. She has a wide experience of changing economic\, political and legal environments. She provides support and advice to leading regional organisations including those in the life sciences sector. \n  \n
