The Demystifying Quality and Regulatory workshop is a '101' introduction to all you will need to know for your MedTech development. This workshop is ideal for early-stage innovators, researchers and start-ups, 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.
