dc.description.abstractThis report summarises a survey conducted to assess medtech industry stakeholders' experiences and perspectives regarding the conduct of clinical investigations both in Ireland and internationally. Respondents included companies and organisations actively engaged in clinical medtech research, providing insights into regulatory processes, workforce challenges, patient recruitment, and compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Key findings highlight widespread recognition of Ireland’s strengths—particularly its infrastructure and regulatory clarity—tempered by challenges related to skill gaps and lengthy approval timelines. Recommendations emphasise improving regulatory efficiency, addressing skills shortages, and fostering EU-wide harmonisation to bolster Ireland's competitiveness.en
