The Health Check series features Osborne Clarke lawyers taking a critical look at developments in the life sciences and healthcare sectors. Through a ‘health check’ style appointment, the series aims to equip companies with strategies to respond to regulatory changes. The series includes short webinars, podcasts, infographics, and insights, all focused on providing practical strategies to navigate regulatory changes.
Regulators must constantly balance initiatives to boost innovation against measures to protect patients and consumers. In each podcast, we apply our Legal Thermometer to take the temperature on a key development, asking: is it too hot, too cold, or just right to promote growth in the sector?
