Ivowen are pleased to announce that Fellowship of The Organisation for Professionals in Regulatory Affairs (FTOPRA) has been conferred on Majella Ryan. According to TOPRA:
“The award of a Fellowship is intended to recognise a contribution in which the individual has used his/her professional knowledge and experience to influence, guide or develop the profession in a proactive way. While clearly the individual’s regulatory experience and current senior position achieved are important, what is also looked for is a consistent record of activities or influences extending beyond the confines of the individual’s day-to-day activities.”
Majella Ryan has been in the regulatory affairs business for over 20 years and in this time has worked in both small and large multi-national companies, setting up Ivowen in 2002. Since then, Majella was involved in the set-up of TOPRA in Ireland, acting as the inaugural Chair in 2001/2011, as well as speaking at various conferences and providing extensive regulatory training to companies around the world. In addition, Majella is actively engaged in the publication and explanation of regulatory and guidance updates via Ivowen’s website, and via Ivowen’s EU network, EuDRAcon. As part of Ivowen’s daily work, Majella is involved in the high level regulatory strategy and support of complex projects and products like biosimilars, paediatric investigation plans and clinical trials, eCTD implementation, regulatory pathways to approval, Brexit planning, and much more.

This year’s TOPRA Annual Symposium was held in Dublin in October. The Annual Symposium is an essential meeting for regulatory professionals to gain both an understanding of current and evolving regulatory requirements, as well as insights into future plans for regulations in the Human medicines, Veterinary medicines and Medical Device sectors.
Three members of our Team attended the Symposium this year, Majella Ryan, Alice D’Alton and Nanda Naik. This year was particularly satisfying for Ivowen as we had an exhibition stand at the three day event.
As well as exhibiting, Ivowen attended the sessions including ‘Life after Brexit’. This session was a live discussion of predictions and concerns about the possible outcome of ongoing negotiations with the EU.
Now that an extension has been granted, which will delay the UK exit until January 2020, we are left wondering if we will finally know the UK position when Ivowen attend the Medicines for Europe regulatory conference being held in Amsterdam on 29th – 31st January.
In the meantime, we await instruction from the regulators on whether UK will still be available on the CESP portal later this week. Ivowen is registered on the new MHRA submissions portal so either way we have you covered.
Ivowen will keep you up to date in the coming days and weeks
Please contact us, Ivowen are dedicated to keeping you up to date with the latest regulatory updates and innovations. We remain at your disposal to assist in all of your regulatory endeavours today and into the future.
