An update on our stakeholder forums for Anatomy, Human Application and ODT
Last month we held three more sector focused forums. Meeting together in this way has many benefits, as some of the things we talked about can illustrate.
Public Display Licensing Standards and Guidance
The purpose of this guidance is to assist licensed establishments to meet the HTA’s licensing standards. The documents contain additional information and examples of how to meet certain Standards.
Sector-focused stakeholder engagement
We recently started a new programme of sector-focused stakeholder engagement forums starting with leaders from the Human Application, ODT, Anatomy and Post Mortem sectors, where the Terms of Reference were agreed. We’re looking forward to further forums later in the year.
The forums have three functions:
-
to provide a forum to discuss sector-focused regulatory issues
-
to consider regulatory policies and practice
-
to share relevant regulatory concerns, knowledge, insight, and intelligence.
