The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency enhances and improves the health of millions of people every day through the effective regulation of medicines and medical devices, underpinned by science and research.

The objective of the Healthcare Quality and Access Group is to drive quality and critically appraise benefits and risks to inform robust decisions on healthcare access including accelerated access pathways.

- Work with Department of Health & Social Care Medicine Supply Team and the NHS Commercial Medicines Unit to highlight and manage supply disruptions.

- Knowledge in one or more relevant scientific areas or broader knowledge across the range of scientific activities in relation to the pharmaceutical development, manufacture and quality assurance of human medicinal products.
