We’ve published 6 new inspection reports from establishments in human application, research, and post-mortem sectors.
On inspections we look at compliance with HTA standards including consent, governance and quality systems, traceability, and premises, facilities and equipment. We check whether there are any minor, major or critical shortfalls against these standards.
Read the latest reports:
This guidance is for anyone considering filming or taking photographs of a body or body parts donated to a medical school or surgical training centre, or activities taking place within those settings. When we refer to photography and filming in this guidance, we intend to capture any recorded, still or live-images, regardless of how they are shown.
Last week we kicked off our new programme of stakeholder events by hosting a roundtable with devolved administrations.
This quarter we have closed 83 as reported to the HTA. Licensed establishments need to report that an incident has taken place and provide a follow-up investigation report within two months for review.
When an incident occurs, we aim to support establishments in their review of the incident and the actions taken to help mitigate the risk of a similar incident occurring in future.
Today we’ve published an updated version of Post-mortem Examination Licensing Standards and Guidance, following engagement with key stakeholders across the post-mortem sector.
