Stakeholder engagement

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.

HTA Releases Revised Code of Practice F, Part Two, Reflecting Changes to Organ and Tissue Donation in Northern Ireland

Submitted by Tom Parker on

Today, the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) has published an updated version of Code of Practice F, part two. The HTA undertook a review of the Code to reflect the introduction of deemed consent for deceased organ and tissue donation for the purpose of transplantation in Northern Ireland (NI).

 

The amendments made to the Code in relation to Northern Ireland will not apply until the Northern Ireland Deemed Consent Act comes into force.
