Regulatory Affairs Industrial Placement Review

Assigned International requests aiming to register, renew, enquire about medical devices, specifically Joints devices by DePuy Synthes. A typical day would include liaising with international colleagues via call or email, searching for product code information, and finding the appropriate documentation. Different regions have varying compliance regulations so each request was often different and specific to that country or codes.

Yes, requests were assigned to me, and I was expected to be responsible for their completion.
However tight knit team of colleagues meant help was there if I needed it.

Yes.
- developed communication skills (reaching out to external contacts, teamwork with own colleagues efficiently in order to meet request deadlines)
- attention to detail (might deal with hundreds of unique codes that have specific details, I had to be precise to ensure documentation was correct)
- expanded knowledge of medical device industry and Changes to current regulations

Perfect amount.
Managers were very responsive and supportive over email and daily calls to make sure I understood my role and responsibilities. Training available throughout the role.
Plenty of helpful resources and worksheets to aid me as well.

Friendly, supportive, understanding, hard working, well connected.

Really enjoyed my placement.
Rewarding work, great team, excellent opportunities.
