Regulatory Group
The EMIG Regulatory Group hold regular information sharing and networking meetings for those members working in Regulatory Affairs, related disciplines or those with an interest in understanding more about current challenges impacting the industry.
The Group meets at least three time a year in London. Each meeting focuses on current hot topics and take the form of presentations and/or group discussions. External experts and Regulatory Authority personnel are often invited as appropriate. Examples of recent topics include:
- GMP/GDP – led by MHRA inspectorate
- source Transfer Masterclass – group discussion around current challenges
- patient Information.
Events are a valuable networking opportunity, with time allocated at the start of each session for informal networking.
In addition, the EMIG Regulatory Group takes the lead on two key MHRA meetings for our membership:
- cross trade meeting
- bi-lateral meeting.
The Group was established in 2008 and is developing along with EMIG member requirements to ensure it has value for all.
We always welcome input from EMIG members to highlight topics they wish to see covered in our Regulatory Group events and also to participate in the MHRA meetings.
