MHRA announces corporate plan for 2023-2026 17 Jul 2023

The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published its corporate plan for the next three years, featuring a focus on patient access to innovation.

Its four central tenets are to:

• Maintain public trust through transparency and proactive communication
• Enable healthcare access to safe and effective medical products
• Deliver scientific and regulatory excellence through strategic partnerships
• Become an agency where people flourish alongside a responsive customer service culture.

Actions include a revised innovation pathway to accelerate new product approvals, launching a centralised knowledge hub as a single point of contact, along with public awareness initiatives to increase patients’ understanding of its decisions and public hearings on major safety issues.
