United Kingdom LNG: In-Person Meet & Connect – Manchester

Free educational event focusing on topics of interest to UK pharmaceuticals and medical devices, including IVDs.

Navigating the rapidly shifting landscape of global and domestic regulations requires agility, sharp insights, and a strong network of peers. Whether you are managing complex QA/RA frameworks, driving technical submissions, or managing risk strategy, keeping pace shouldn't mean working in isolation.

Join us on Thursday, 1 October 2026, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm for an in-person Meet & Connect event for regulatory professionals across the UK.

This free event is an opportunity to network with colleagues and discuss topics relevant to the pharmaceutical, medical device and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) sectors. The event will be held in Manchester and is open to both RAPS members and non-members.

The programme will include a discussion with Arabe Ahmed, BSI, on Article 117, current regulatory challenges and emerging trends, followed by time to meet and connect with peers from across the industry.

Light refreshments will be provided.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Note: Places are limited, so early registration is encouraged.
