With the UK continuing its regulatory transition since splitting from the EU, what are the latest implications for medical device manufacturers, and does the UK have an opportunity to make itself a more attractive investment destination? In the next issue, we take a closer look at the post-Brexit landscape for UK medical device regulation.

Earlier this year, a court told the FDA it had wrongly classified a device as a drug, raising questions about how medicines and devices are defined by the agency. We investigate the grey area between drugs and devices, which products fall within that space, and the financial and regulatory consequences for companies whose products are moved from one category to another.

Also in the next issue, we find out what can be done to tackle the recent rise in telemedicine fraud, and offer our usual round-up of market data and analysis from GlobalData.
