HTA seeks sector-wide feedback through short survey following September's 2024 engagement event exploring consent processes, DI roles, regulatory collaboration, and emerging technologies in human tissue regulation.
HTA licensed establishments in the Post-mortem, Human Application and Organ Donation and Transplantation sector are required to report incidents to the HTA.
How to report them are different for each sector.
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.
Throughout the year we host a programme of stakeholder engagement events.
Our sector-focused stakeholder forums have given us the opportunity to share updates and hear feedback on our regulation with leaders from each sector we regulate.
We've also started a programme of roundtables to discuss specific topics relevant to the sectors.
Membership of our stakeholder groups consists of leaders from each sector, and we're also looking at opportunities to hear from a wider group of professionals in the near future.
