In a member webinar hosted by techUK, experts from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) provided a comprehensive introduction to the UK’s regulatory framework for software as a medical device (SaMD). The session aimed to demystify core regulatory requirements for developers, manufacturers, and NHS adopters – particularly as software and AI-driven tools continue to advance rapidly and generate questions around compliance, clinical evidence and post market expectations.

This webinar with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England outlined updates to the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC), aimed at simplifying and standardising digital health assurance. The session explored reduced duplication, clearer guidance and longer-term reform plans to improve consistency, streamline procurement and support supplier adoption across the NHS.

The Digital Health Rewired 2026 conference programme has been published, featuring 10 stages packed with sessions from national digital leaders, NHS CEOs, CIOs, CCIOs and CNIOs, pioneering clinicians and innovators.
