Regulating medical devices post-Brexit
18 September 2018
Would the UK benefit from becoming an independent regulator of medical devices after Brexit?
Professor Derek Hill, UCL Centre for Medical Image Computing
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.
