Navigating the Human Tissue Authority Inspection: Insights from a Designated Individual in the South Wales Valleys

Submitted by Jonathan Spencer on

I am the Designated Individual for Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board within the heart of the South Wales Valleys. During my appointment in 2020 I anticipated our next Human Tissue Authority (HTA) inspection would be during 2022/2023 and up to the point of inspection I spent much of my time working with clinical teams across our Mortuary services, and other relevant areas such as Midwifery, ensuring all standards were being met.

Operational data

In 2023 to 2024 we aim to increase the number of data sets we make available.  By making a wide range of information available to the public, we aim to be more transparent about our operations, policies and procedures. Publishing more data can also help identify trends and opportunities for improvement, which can promote greater compliance in our regulated sectors.

On this page you will find data on licences, inspections and the types of enquiries we receive. 

 

 

Stakeholder roundtables

To complement our sector-focused stakeholder forums we have a programme of roundtables.

The round-tables are intended to enable the HTA to:

  • discuss an issue, guided by specific discussion topics 
  • receive feedback on a particular issue  we have identified 
  • invite individuals with relevant knowledge or experience of the issue being discussed

 

The most recent blogs about the round tables can be found here:
