EP 346 - We chat with the founder & CEO of Device Access - who help MedTech companies gain market access and regulatory approval - about how over regulation can stifle innovation and lead to an adverse impact on patient care and outcomes.

Michael Branigan tells us about:

Why US companies aren’t interested infringing their devices to the UK anymore (hint it’s cos we are tiny)

Why regulation is stifling innovation, and how that is bad for all of us, but particularly the NHS

He also mentions Brexit, but not for the reasons that you’d expect.
