"Staying Ahead in Patient Safety and Compliance: Assessing the awareness of Regulatory Requirements in an Irish Medical Devices Distributor" by Cathy Tyndall 

Safety is paramount in the medical device industry. This study examined the awareness and perception of Medical Device Regulation (MDR) within an Irish medical distributor, aiming to improve patient safety. Using a mixed-method approach, it included 74 surveys and four interviews with managers and employees. The findings revealed significant awareness and understanding of MDR, particularly regarding adverse event reporting and CE marking. However, the perceived importance of MDR varied across roles, indicating a need for tailored training and communication. Both employees and management viewed MDR positively, recognizing its commercial benefits. Recommendations for future research include comparative studies on non-managerial roles, longitudinal studies on training effectiveness, and assessments of MDR awareness in the manufacturing sector and among healthcare professionals. Cathy's research underscores the importance of positive organizational culture and customized training for regulatory compliance and patient safety
