Regulating Medical Devices

Thursday 21st May 2026 - 12:30-14:00

Navigating Regulatory Approval: Your Roadmap to Market

Getting regulatory approval is one of the biggest hurdles for any new medical technology, but with the right strategy, it can be a fast-track to market success rather than a roadblock.

This live session will show you how to turn complex regulatory requirements into a clear, actionable plan so you can launch with confidence in the UK, EU, US and beyond. You’ll come away with practical insights, expert advice, and a “how-to” roadmap to guide your approval journey.

You’ll gain clarity on the questions that make-or-break regulatory approval, including:

  • What counts as a medical device and why it matters.
  • How to determine your device classification.
  • Step-by-step guidance on securing UKCA and CE marks.
  • Key differences between UK, EU and US processes (including FDA approval).
  • The evidence, documentation and technical files regulators expect.
  • Who needs to be involved and when.
