SUMMARY:Introduction to the EU Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/746 Online workshop
DESCRIPTION:Are you developing a in vitro diagnostic device for the health sector? Are you unsure if you need to adhere to the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulations? Or what the risk classification of your device is according to the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulations? Or which requirements your device need to conform to? Then this workshop is for you.\n\n\nDetailed Description\nThe objective of this workshop is to learn the first key aspects of the In Vitro Diagnostic medical device regulations: to determine when a product is a in vitro medical device\, what the risk classification of the device is and what the next steps are. \nWho should attend? \nPeople who are working in the area of In vitro diagnostic medical devices\, including: academic\nresearchers\, clinicians\, science students\, innovators\, start up’s\, SME’s\, research council\, research\nservices and tech transfer support. \nWhat will I learn? \nBy the end of the workshop delegates will be able to:\n• Identify if a device is an In vitro diagnostic medical device.\n• Classify a device according to the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (EU) risk\nlevels.\n• Find the requirements that In Vitro Diagnostic medical devices need to conform too.\n• Hands on experience in using the regulatory tool: RegMetrics.

SUMMARY:Could new research help to reduce the need for immunosuppression after a kidney transplant?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar hosted by the UK Organ Donation and Transplantation Research Network (UKODTRN).\nRegulatory T cells are a type of immune cell that naturally calm down unwanted immune reactions. In this webinar\, Professor Fadi Issa will describe how researchers are trying to harness these cells to reduce the need for life long immunosuppressant drugs after having a transplant. He will share what the lab and early clinical results show so far and discuss what this research could mean for patients in the future.\nThe session will conclude with a 15-minute Q&A discussion with your submitted questions.\nThe UKODTRN is administered by Kidney Research UK.

SUMMARY:First Virtual Equity Charter COP
DESCRIPTION:First Virtual Equity Charter COP date loading (4th March 12:30-13:30) \nEquity in digital health cannot be a side conversation. It has to be designed in. \nBecause digital is never neutral. \nOn 4 March\, we will be coming together for the Equity Charter Community of Practice. It is a space for honest dialogue\, shared learning\, and collective action to ensure equity genuinely shows up in our systems\, services and leadership. \nDigital tools can widen gaps or close them.\nThey can exclude quietly or empower intentionally.\nThey reflect the values of those who build and implement them. \nThis isn’t a webinar.\nIt’s not passive listening.\nIt’s a community. \nIf you work in digital\, data\, transformation\, clinical leadership\, policy\, or design \, this space is for you. \n📅 First session: 4 March | 12:30–13:30 | Virtual\n📅 3 June | 16:30–17:30\n📅 29 September | In person at HETT\n📅 25 November | 12:30–13:30 \nEquity is not an abstract principle. It is a daily practice. \nIf you would like to be part of this growing movement\, sign up here:

SUMMARY:From Unmet Need to Evidence Generation
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be delivered by the NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in Emergency and Acute Care. You’ll benefit from expertise in healthtech evidence generation and evaluation and hear valuable insights about successful HealthTech development in the NHS. \nThe journey from identifying an unmet need to generating evidence for adoption and reimbursement is complex. This workshop will break down the process\, highlight key hurdles\, and share strategies to develop a compelling evidence case and secure funding. \nWhat are the aims of the workshop?\n\nTo help companies that are developing diagnostics\, digital health products\, or medical devices to articulate unmet need from multiple perspectives (clinical\, patient\, economic).\nTo demonstrate what works (and what doesn’t) through real company case studies.\nTo provide a practical framework for structuring your evidence story.\nTo introduce NIHR i4i and other funding routes for evidence generation.\n\nWho should attend?\n\nIndustry innovators (SMEs\, start-ups) developing health technologies for the UK market.\n\n\nIndustry innovators with limited experience of development and commercialisation of novel technology for the NHS.

SUMMARY:NIHR THRIVE Programme of Entrepreneurship Training and Funding
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to level up your entrepreneurial skills and secure funding at the NIHR THRIVE Programme!\n\n\n\nIn order to obtain tickets for the webinar please use Access Code: NIHR \nThe NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme is accepting applications with the second call for the researcher and clinician-led THRIVE (Translate Healthcare Research through InnoVation and Entrepreneurship) funding and training opportunity. \nTHRIVE aims to accelerate the translation of healthcare innovations tackling health inequalities from bench to bed\, speed up patient benefit and concurrently expand the entrepreneurial mindset of researchers and clinicians. \nTHRIVE is aimed at academic and clinical entrepreneurs with innovations at prototype development level (Technology Readiness Level (TRL 3)) and above to ensure that the product is advanced enough to test the market need and build a commercialisation strategy and benefit from the training by applying the ideas and frameworks to an innovation ready for translation. \nTHRIVE offers up to £150\,000 over 9 months to support the development of the technology and a structured programme of entrepreneurial training\, mentoring\, peer support and networking. Through the programme the innovators will explore the market for their innovation and identify potential routes for commercialising (spin-out vs licensing) or sustaining their innovation (Intrapreneurship). \nThe programme supports innovations that can reduce health inequalities and meet needs in underserved communities. \nApplications from underserved communities and geographies as well as under-represented innovators are encouraged.
