This blog provides insight into the HTA inspection of AstraZeneca at The Discovery Centre, conducted virtually and in-person.

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.

I am Designated Individual (DI) for the University of Warwick’s HTA Research Licence, which covers two sites, one at the University campus and the other in laboratory space that the University rents from a local NHS Trust.  We have five departments where human tissue is used in research, with great diversity in the projects, tissue types and characters involved in the research. 

At the HTA, we have used different inspection models over the years although our core approach has been a site-based inspection, typically with two inspecting staff.
