About this source
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is the UK's medicines and medical devices regulator. MHRA publications include drug safety alerts, device field safety notices, Class 1-4 defect recalls, guidance updates, and the monthly medicines shortage list. Around 55 publications a month. Device field safety notices in particular are useful because MHRA often publishes them hours before other European regulators (ANSM, BfArM) surface the same recall. Watch this if you manufacture or distribute medicines or medical devices in the UK and EU, run a hospital pharmacy, advise on MHRA licensing, or follow post-market surveillance signals across European markets.
