Welcome to the latest edition of “Updates in a heartbeat”. Our newsletter provides you with a compilation of key legal developments over the last few months.

Regulatory reform of the sector remains a key priority of governments around the world. China’s state council has issued plans for wide ranging reform of the country’s medical and healthcare sector including changes to the drug review and approval system and improved monitoring of drug supply security. There are also more specialist updates from across Europe including changes to the medical devices system in Portugal and various reforms to the food and supplement regulatory regime in Poland and the Czech Republic. Another key area of activity is in relation to product liability law where important changes are planned for Poland and China. We also report on various updates on clinical trial investigations as well as ongoing policy debates on AI in the UK.

We hope you enjoy our latest newsletter and please do reach out to us if you would like to discuss any of the issues in more detail.
