The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulates medicines, medical devices and blood components for transfusion in the UK. It was formed in 2003 by merging the Medicines Control Agency and Medical Devices Agency. The MHRA licenses pharmaceutical companies, importers, clinical trials and new medicines. It oversees the drug development process from discovery through clinical trials to licensing. The MHRA also monitors drug safety after approval and can renew, cancel or amend licenses as needed.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. Introduction
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is a
government body which of the Department of Health of United Kingdom
was set up in 2003 to bring together the functions of the Medicines Control
Agency (MCA) and the Medical Devices Agency (MDA).

6. History
In 1999, the Medicines Control
Agency (MCA) took over control of
the General Practice Research
Database (GPRD) from Office for
National Statistics.
Medicines Control Agency (MCA)
and the Medical Devices Agency
(MDA) merged in 2003 to form
MHRA.
12-Nov-19 6
7. In April 2012, the GPRD was expanded and re-launched as the Clinical
Practice Research Data-link (CPRD).
In April 2013, MHRA merged with the National Institute for Biological
Standards and Control (NIBSC) and was rebranded, with MHRA identity
being used for the parent organization and one of the centres within the
group. At the same time CPRD was formally declared a separate centre
of MHRA, too.

10. Development new drugs
1. Discovery
A fundamental first step to discovering new drugs is knowledge of the biology of a disease. This involves
understanding how cell and biological processes work in health as well as what goes wrong in disease. This will
reveal potential targets that a drug could act on.
Studies in cells and animals are crucial first steps and should not be undervalued. However, many drugs that show
promising results in cells in laboratories don't work in animals, and many drugs that show promising results in
animals don't work in humans.
Many thousands of new chemical compounds are created and tested to identify those that have potential. There is a
very high drop out rate at this stage; fewer than 1 in 1,000 of all the compounds that are made ever progress to
testing in humans.
2. Phase I
The first step in testing a new drug is to determine the safety of single doses
in a small number of healthy volunteers.
12-Nov-19 10
11. 3. Phase II
If the treatment proves to be safe, studies begin to determine the effectiveness of the drug in people with the condition
to be treated. The study may be:
controlled - the drug is compared with the standard treatment or placebo (dummy treatment)
double-blind - neither the investigators nor the participants know which treatment they are receiving
randomized - participants will be randomly allocated to receive active treatment or placebo.
4. Phase III
If a drug shows effectiveness, a larger study is conducted in hundreds of people.
Phase III studies in relapsing remitting MS generally run for two years and compare
the number of relapses in people taking the new drug with those taking the standard
treatment or placebo.
12-Nov-19 11
12. 5. Licensing
Data from all of these three phases is presented to the regulatory authorities (in the UK this is the MHRA - Medicines
and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency or the EMA - European Medicines Agency). If the authorities are
satisfied that the new medicine is effective, safe and meets manufacturing quality standards, a marketing authorization
or license is issued.
6. NHS appraisal
Once a new medicine has been licensed, there may still be one final hurdle. Set up to help eliminate postcode
lottery prescribing, NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) for England and Wales
and SMC (Scottish Medicines Consortium) for Scotland appraise certain new medicines and will look at issues
such as cost effectiveness of the new treatments.
The NHS is legally obliged to fund medicines recommended by NICE or SMC. The reverse also holds true – if
NICE or SMC do not approve a new medicine, then local health authorities are not required to
provide funding for it.
Post-marketing surveillance and Yellow Card Scheme
Once the newly-licensed medicine is in general use, it will be carefully monitored
for safety. All medicines have a patient information leaflet (PIL), which gives
instructions on how the medicine should be used, and on its side effects.
12-Nov-19 12
13. In the UK, the Yellow Card Scheme is used by doctors and members of the public to report unwanted side effects of a
medicine to the MHRA.
New uses of a medicine
Clinical trials will continue after a medicine has been granted a license. These trials aim to:
find new treatment uses
compare the new medicine with other treatments
determine effectiveness in a much wider range of patients
assess long term benefits and safety
A license is granted for a specific use and in a particular group of people. However, once a medicine has been approved for
one purpose, doctors are free to prescribe it for any other purpose that in their professional judgment is both safe and
effective this is described as off-label use.
Naming of drugs
Drug names usually start as a string of letters and numbers, a name used to identify it in the laboratory.
As the drug advances through testing, it gets a generic name, or non-proprietatry name, which must be approved
by the World Health Organization.
The brand name, or proprietary name, is chosen by the manufacturer, usually on the basis that it can be recognised,
pronounced and remembered by health professionals and members of the public. The brand name must be unique
to protect the trademark and not sound or look too much like any other drug name to avoid medical errors.

18. Renewal of license
New Marketing authorizations
(MAs) are valid for five years and
then may be renewed on the basis
of a re-evaluation of the risk- benefit
balance.
Once renewed, the marketing
authorization will be valid for an
unlimited period.
Applications for renewal should be
submitted at least six months
before expiry.12-Nov-19 18
19. Cancellation of license
If MAs holder does not file an application for renewal within specified time, MAs expires
automatically.
If the MAs holder does not wish to renew the license, a letter should be sent indicating the
cancellation to:
Administrative Support Team
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
MHRA has authority to cancel license of product if it affects public health.
12-Nov-19 19
20. Export drugs and medicines
12-Nov-19 20
Permission must need to export certain drugs and medicines.
These are:
Controlled drugs
Drugs that can be used for lethal injections
Medicines
Export certificates for medicines for animals
21. 12-Nov-19 21
Controlled drugs
Check the list of common controlled drugs.
If your drug is controlled, need a Home Office controlled drug license to export it. This is in addition to any
domestic license you need to possess the drug in the UK.
If drug is not on the list but you think it might have the properties of a controlled drug, check the relevant
legislation to find out if it’s controlled. The list of common controlled drugs has links to the relevant legislation.
Apply for an export license
Need a Home Office controlled drug license to export controlled drugs anywhere in the world.
To apply:
register for a Home Office controlled drugs license
log in once has registered
License will be valid for up to 2 months (or until your import permit expires, if sooner).
Fees: The export license costs £24.
22. 12-Nov-19 22
Drugs that can be used for lethal injections
Medicines
Export certificates for medicines for humans
There are 5 types of certificate. Which one you need will depend on the requirements of the importing country. Talk
to the importer who’s receiving your goods to find out.
1. Certificate of a pharmaceutical product (licensed)
2. Certificate of a pharmaceutical product (unlicensed)
3. Certificate of manufacturing status
4. Certificate of licensing status
5. Certificate for the importation of a pharmaceutical constituent
23. If your application is successful, you’ll get the original version of your certificate and 2 copies.
You can get extra copies of certificates for £34 each.
Export certificates for medicines for animals
There are 5 types of certificate. These are:
a) Defra-1
b) Defra-2
c) Defra-3
d) Defra-4
e) Defra-SFA
Anyone should get certificate or be told why it hasn’t been issued within 10 days.
The fee is £30 (plus £15 for each certified copy, if anyone need these).
12-Nov-19 23
24. Import a human medicine
12-Nov-19 24
Import a licensed medicine
Import an unlicensed medicine
Make an urgent import notification
Import a licensed medicine
Wholesale
Manufacturer
Marketing authorization (MA)
Import an unlicensed medicine
Import an introduced product
Import a special product
25. 12-Nov-19 25
Make an urgent import notification
In cases of clinical emergency (usually the treatment of life-threatening illness or where significant injury is
likely) MHRA is able to process an import notification within one working day.
Commercial or other non-clinical reasons aren’t acceptable reasons for urgency.
Fees
Fees are charged annually using a banding system based on the number of notifications anyone submit. Customers
are provided with an estimate early in the financial year, followed by an invoice once all the information for the year
is available.
A doctor may make the request to a licensed importer, or to a pharmacist who then places the order with the
importer. If a doctor or pharmacist holds their own wholesaler or specials license, they can make the order
themselves.
Fees for safety and quality vetting of unlicensed imported medicines
Combination medicines and products, which have two different medicines within
one pack, are considered a single notification. Separate packs of different products
would require separate notifications.
