The Medicines Evaluation Unit is granted MHRA Phase 1 accreditation.

The MEU are proud to announce that we have been awarded the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Standard and Supplementary Phase I Accreditation. This award demonstrates the high safety and quality standards we apply to the performance of clinical trials here at the MEU.

The accreditation is a voluntary process whereby the MEU’s facility, practices, staffing and experience are inspected by the MHRA, the UK government agency responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work, and are acceptably safe.

This accreditation is the highest award for clinical trials in Europe and allows the MEU to conduct all phases of clinical trials including FTIH trials that require a review of risk factors by the Expert Advisory Group (EAG).

“This award is a well deserved accolade and places the MEU in the top ten of Clinical Research Units based on a hospital site in the UK” David Rogers, Director of Operations.
