Navigate regulatory, quality, and NHS requirements to build a clear pathway from health innovation to market.

Bringing a health innovation to market can be complex, with regulatory requirements, quality expectations, clinical evidence, and NHS adoption pathways often feeling difficult to navigate.

Whether you're developing a medical device, digital health technology, software as a medical device (SaMD), IVD, or another health innovation, understanding what is required from the outset can save significant time, cost, and effort later in your journey.

Join Jessica Hambidge from LFH Regulatory for an introductory webinar designed to help innovators understand the key regulatory and compliance considerations for successfully developing and commercialising health technologies.

During the session, we'll cover:

• The key regulatory requirements for health innovations in the UK.
• The approvals, evidence, and compliance considerations that support NHS adoption.
• Common regulatory pitfalls that can delay implementation and scale.
• How NHS standards and assurance processes influence innovation adoption.
• Practical steps to build regulatory readiness into your development strategy.

This webinar is ideal for start-ups, SMEs, clinicians, academics, researchers and entrepreneurs who are preparing to bring their innovation into health and care settings and want to better understand the pathway to market.

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions during the session, and attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance to help shape the discussion.

Who is this webinar for?

This webinar is designed for health and care innovators at any stage of their innovation journey, particularly:

• Innovators who are seeking clarity on regulatory strategy, quality management, clinical evidence, and market access requirements.
• Innovators preparing for NHS adoption who want to understand whether they have the necessary approvals, evidence, and standards in place.
• Start-ups, SMEs, clinicians, academics, and entrepreneurs looking to build regulatory readiness and avoid common barriers to implementation and scale.
