Executive Briefings For people planning the future of the company and its products you need training and education to concentrate upon strategy, project planning, risk and budgets. Our executive briefings do exactly that; from courses outlining drug / device combination products to determining global market entry for high risk IVDs, our series of briefings will enable you to gain confidence in your strategic decisions. Ideal for: CEOs Leadership teams Investment bankers Business development personnel Team Leader Briefings People who are actively doing the job and leading the team need to quickly understand why they are doing something so that they can quickly motivate, coach, support and lead their teams towards regulatory compliance. Our Team Leader briefings are fast-paced, example-driven practical courses aimed at keeping the balance of theory with reality in order to ensure the correct messages are issued. From regulatory overviews to examining cases of where poor awareness has affected regulatory compliance, our team briefings are specifically aimed at large audiences in short sessions delivered by facilitators who keep the audience engaged and energized. Workforce Briefings External professionals explaining why it is important to maintain compliance to an entire workforce can sound rather academic; however it is critically important for medical technology organizations to ensure that their workforce understand that they are involved in some of the most important products in our lifetime. We have specialized large class developed lectures aimed towards engaging a general workforce and stimulating their thoughts and behaviors towards regulatory compliance. Our lectures focus on the human whys rather than regulatory requirements, outlining the duty of care every employee has in ensuring that they make the right decisions that achieve a safe and effective product.

Come and listen to the best in the industry explain and outline the challenges, solutions and considerations impacting medical device design and manufacturing organizations in light of recent high profile material safety concerns. Over the last 5 years there has been a deepening concern that the method of understanding the safety of medical devices when considering biological risks has not encouraged the use of the most up to date scientific, engineering and regulatory methods. Several high profile failures relating to surgical implants have raised the level of concern from the US FDA, European Commission and subsequently the authorities responsible for overseeing medical device safety around the world. Standards setting groups have worked hard to bring standards into line with the latest considerations for risk management, testing, analytical methods and on-going control of materials and devices and there have been significant changes in how the assessment of clinical benefit over risk should be undertaken by manufacturers. This has culminated in the need for better risk management, better knowledge of the actual failure modes that can have an impact on biological stability when interacting with the human body and a better understanding of the tools and techniques to be used when validating the design, process and clinical efficacy of a medical device throughout its lifecycle.

Based on our successful Qualified Person training for pharmaceutical quality professionals, we have developed a similar program for medical device regulatory compliance professionals. The program consists of high quality, engaging and intense modular training that ultimately prepares the Qualified Person to be able to make the right decisions in the interest of public health. We introduced our first series in our QP medical device curriculum in 201, offering specific modules, professional certificates and international post graduate qualifications in conjunction with the Sheffield Hallam University. 39 For more information about NSF courses, email eudevices@nsf.org or visit our website at www.nsf.org/info/medicaldevices/
