November 21, 2019 — Alpharetta, GA
Though we are likely looking at yet another delay given the Parliament votes this week, we are guaranteed uncertainty as the UK is currently due to leave the European Union (EU) on 31 October 2019. One of the biggest questions for many of our clients remains; how will Brexit impact their organization’s ability to import, export or market medical devices in the UK?
If you are in the area, join R&Q Solutions with the RAPS Atlanta Chapter on Thursday, November 21 for a full-day workshop to report the latest on Brexit as it applies to industry and offers interactive presentations on EU MDR. Notably, R&Q's VP of EU MDR and IVDR Consulting Services, Dr. Ibim Tariah, will be leading sessions on Brexit and PMS/PMCF.
This workshop is approved for six RAC recertification credits.
Take a Look: Earlier this year R&Q presented the free webinar EU MDR for Combination Products, which is now available on demand. We strongly encourage you to access the slides and recording below as a great supplement to this workshop!
