Medical device reforms webinar 1: an introduction

This recording is the first webinar in a series presented by the CEC on its Medical Device Governance Program (MDGP). The program is intended to guide healthcare professionals on the  Medical Device Reforms devised by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Overview Since the day you were born, and in most cases prior, medical devices have been used to support your healthcare. Contact lenses and x-ray machines – even bandages and band aids – make up the tens of thousands of diverse products used to detect, prevent or fix medical issues. It is essential, therefore, that medical devices perform optimally. A new set of reforms is underway across the country to set up more safeguards to ensure they do. The TGA, which regulates medical devices and monitors their performance at the national level, devised a suite of reforms. Under the reforms, the TGA imposes new responsibilities – some of which are mandatory – on healthcare professionals and health services to improve patient safety in the use of medical devices. This webinar was recorded on 20 March 2024. An excerpt of a video was played during this webinar.

It is coordinating the implementation of these reforms across the NSW Health system in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Agency for Clinical Innovation, HealthShare NSW, eHealth NSW, Health Infrastructure, Local Health Districts and Speciality Health Networks, and consumer representatives. The aim of the CEC’s MDGP is to support healthcare professionals in this process by raising awareness of changes to the existing procedures and introduction of new requirements, enabling system changes to reflect the requirements of the reforms, and empowering staff and patients to report concerns with medical devices they use.
