This book describes these tests and the processes undertaken to bring such products to the market, and the work of the government agencies who ensure products of the highest standards.
Topics include the European registration processes for medicines and medical devices, and the roles of the UK and pan-European regulatory authorities (MHRA and EMEA). Other issues covered are the work of NICE, the importance of the ICH process, and the activities of the US FDA and the WHO in drug and device regulation. Ethical issues in product development are also considered.
Development and Control of Medicines and Medical Devices is an essential reference for those working in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries and in government agencies responsible for the control of medicines and medical devices.

'The book describes those processes and tests that pharmaceutical products and medical devices must undergo to demonstrate their quality, safety and efficacy prior to obtaining regulatory approval. Although a lot of the material...can be found (with patience) on the Internet, the great advantage of the book is that it brings it all together in a single volume review...it is well produced and has a good index.'
