Medical Devices Regulation (MDR)

Changes are coming to the way in which the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ensures the safety and quality of medical devices.

A series of improvements are being made to modernise the current system that will ensure better protection of public health and patient safety. The new Regulation for Medical Devices (MDR) which entered into force on 25th May 2017 is a balancing act of proportionate responsibility and an increasingly technological approach to healthcare.
