Medical devices are intended to help patients live better with an improved quality of life and eventually increase longevity.  However, medical devices are a matter of life or death.  Their incorrect manufacturing, storing, handling and use can lead to risks subsequently leading to death.  A failure in one of the processes related to medical devices will impact heavily on the life of the patient, a human being. Falsified medical devices pose another threat to safety.

• What is being done to defy the death issue associated with medical devices?
• Are we prepared to sustain a failure free medical device era?

This European Medical Device Leadership: Advanced Training Course calls on to anyone who wants to be a champion in taking the medical device industry and science to the next higher level ensuring patient longevity. The course undertakes to create a forum for sharing of knowledge and ideas whilst embracing the challenges ahead in line with the EU Medical Device regulations.
