Global life sciences consulting firm leads seminar in partnership with the Association of British Healthcare Industries (ABHI)
London, UK – 21 April 2016 – This week, in London, Maetrics (http://www.maetrics.co.uk/), leading international consulting firm focused on the life sciences sector, partnered with the ABHI (Association of British Healthcare Industries) to host a highly informative seminar on “The ROI of good quality and compliance”.
The aim of the seminar was to provide regulatory executives and leaders in the medical device industry a variety of viewpoints on how to successfully integrate quality management and corporate compliance in order to achieve the best Return On Investment (ROI). This is an especially challenging task given that the regulatory landscape both in the EU and the US is rapidly changing especially with the introduction of the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The seminar featured presentations from a variety of speakers including industry and Notified Body representatives as well as Peter Rose, European Managing Director for Maetrics.
Fulfilling its objective to be an informative session, the seminar highlighted the importance of integrating quality and compliance not just for ROI but ultimately to avoid typical costly pitfalls associated with poor quality management and non-compliance.
The presentations and speakers included:
• Changing Regulations in EU & US for Medical Devices – Peter Rose (Managing Director Europe, Maetrics)
• The new MDR, a Notified Body Perspective – Martin Penver (Operation & Technical Manager at LRQA Notified Body)
• Integrating quality with corporate compliance to provide the greatest return – Seth Whitelaw (President & CEO Whitelaw Compliance Group)
• The impact of good quality management system – Carl Dover (VP Quality Strategy and Process Improvement at DePuy Synthes, a Johnson and Johnson company
• The costliest problems and why they are continually repeated – Adrian Toutoungi (Commercial Partner, Eversheds)
Steve Cottrell at Maetrics said: “It was a successful morning with some very thought provoking and engaging presentations from some of the best industry leaders. It is great to partner up with an association like the ABHI and help executives in the industry improve their compliance strategies but also to help them achieve greater ROI”.
