Pharmaceutical Development Services (PDS) has extended its consultancy services with the appointment of two associates who are experts in the medical devices sector.
Alan Taylor has worked in medical device development and marketing with major companies. He has spent the last 12 years as a contract lead auditor and expert for a global medical devices registration body.
Alan has expertise in CE Marking, microbiology and sterilisation, wound management, orthodontics, implantable devices and FDA audit requirements. He can advise on medical device development, including new product development, marketing and market research, clinical trial strategy and quality control.
“Every consultant who has expertise in a particular field welcomes the opportunity to bring that expertise into play as part of a team like PDS, which has wide and proven expertise,” Alan commented. “I am looking forward to helping PDS bring this new area of medical device expertise to their client base.”
Dr Brian Matthews has considerable experience in medical device regulation, having worked in the UK Medical Control Agency and more recently as Senior Director, EC Registration at Alcon Laboratories (UK) Ltd, for whom he was Authorised Representative for medical devices. He is a Fellow of TOPRA and has lectured worldwide on regulatory topics.
Michael Gamlen, Managing Director of PDS, commented: “Brian and Alan each bring different skills and experience. In having them as part of the PDS team, we have gained world-class expertise that enables us to ensure that our consultancy and training services in medical devices will be as authoritative as the rest of our portfolio of skills.”
