The medical devices industry is a highly regulated and technical business, encompassing both UK and international governing bodies. The laws and guidelines are constantly changing and it is therefore imperative that companies have the relevant knowledge to ensure compliance.

Medical devices can be used to treat people with varying degrees of illness, ensuring product quality could mean the difference between life and death. To achieve excellence, all sectors of our industry must come together to learn and to discuss quality related issues.

The MTQG has been formed with the aim of:

• providing an international forum to promote a consistent approach to quality for medical devices
• informing members about/giving access to cost effective conferences, workshops, publications etc
• offering a website service for quality improvement and regulatory issues within the medical devices community
• expanding the international network for medical device QA/RA professionals
• developing partnerships to create an environment of knowledge sharing and co-operation

The MTQG is actively seeking collaborations with other industry groups, initially the Association of British Healthcare Industries (ABHI), the American Society for Quality (ASQ) and the Pharmaceutical Quality Group (PQG). These collaborations should extend our network and enable us to provide a better service to the medical device community.

MTQG mission

The MTQG exists to share knowledge and encourage learning within the medical devices community in relation to the application of quality and regulatory principles.
