The association itself is also proactive in matters important to the industry and produces e.g. opinion and blog posts to stimulate social debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-member-services-and-working-groups-0\" id=\"member-services-and-working-groups\">Member services and working groups<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Working groups<\/strong><br><br>The main activities of the association are meetings of legislative working groups, which are managed by the association together with the separately appointed chairpersons. The aim of the working groups is to share information on the regulation of the industry and to provide a network for companies to have low-threshold discussions on topics common to the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The working groups are open and free of charge to all employees of the member companies. Participation in the groups does not require any prior preparation or homework. The discussion is free-form and ideas can be exchanged at a very low threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-evermade-accordion em-block-accordion js-accordion-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-evermade-accordion-item em-block-accordion-item js-accordion-item\"><h6 class=\"em-block-accordion-item__title-wrapper\"><button class=\"em-block-accordion-item__title js-accordion-controller\">Regulation Working Groups<\/button><\/h6><div id=\"accordion-item-content-0\" class=\"em-block-accordion-item__content js-accordion-content\">\n<p>The working groups are open and free of charge to all employees of the member companies and meet mainly on a monthly basis (excluding the summer months). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participation in the groups does not require prior preparation or homework. The discussion is free-form and ideas can be exchanged at a very low threshold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus of the regulatory working groups is on EU regulations (MDR, IVDR and the recommendations, guidelines and standards that guide their implementation). The regulatory working groups also address the markets and requirements of major export countries, such as the USA and China. In addition, the working groups will delve into domestic health sector regulation and monitor the preparation and implementation of new national legislative projects in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the participants and performers, the chairperson, secretary and a representative of the Healthtech Finland are always present at the meetings. A meeting memorandum is prepared for each meeting. The secretary of the meetings is P\u00e4ivi Ahlgren. The working groups are coordinated by Sandra Liede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separate calendar invitations and participation links will be sent to each person who has registered on the working group mailing lists. The participation links are also stored on our member site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button  icon-right\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/teknologiateollisuus.fi\/healthtech\/en\/association\/software-and-data-working-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><kbd>Software and data<\/kbd>Working Group <\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button  icon-right\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/teknologiateollisuus.fi\/healthtech\/en\/association\/member-services-and-working-groups\/medical-devices-working-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medical devices Working Group<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button  icon-right\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/teknologiateollisuus.fi\/healthtech\/en\/association\/member-services-and-working-groups\/laboratory-diagnostics-working-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laboratory Diagnostics (IVD) Working Group<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-evermade-accordion-item em-block-accordion-item js-accordion-item\"><h6 class=\"em-block-accordion-item__title-wrapper\"><button class=\"em-block-accordion-item__title js-accordion-controller\">Sustainability Working group<\/button><\/h6><div id=\"accordion-item-content-1\" class=\"em-block-accordion-item__content js-accordion-content\">\n<p>The association has a Sustainability working group that is working on a sustainability roadmap for use by member companies.&nbsp;The sustainability of the industry includes responsible procurement from the point of view of both the seller and the buyer, financing opportunities, availability of labour and regulations concerning the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to participate in the meetings of the Responsibility Working Group, please contact us!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Member pages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Member pages are available in SharePoint.
