Description

The European Union (EU) CAMD project was established in 2014 to enhance collaborative working, communication and surveillance of medical devices across Europe. This was an outcome of the Dalli Plan for Joint Action, initiated by Commissioner John Dalli in the aftermath of the breast implant scandal in 2012.

The CAMD network is an umbrella under which the national competent authorities in the EU, and associated parties to the system (European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and Turkey), work to enhance the level of collaborative work in what is a single market for medical devices.

Competent authorities have specific responsibilities for market surveillance and other activity under the terms of the legislation. The governance for the network was changed in 2014 to incorporate an elected executive. The executive was charged with developing better collaboration with the European Commission to improve both strategic planning and the distribution of work across both Commission-led and CAMD-led working groups.

The CAMD is aiming to have a substantial impact by:
- Enhancing patient safety by improving collaborative work across the EU medical devices network
-Specifically address key elements of recognised underperformance identified in the Dalli Plan as well as concerns about market surveillance in all sectors
- Increase efficiency across the devices regulatory network by enhancing and sharing of workload and more effective co-ordination and communication of pan-European safety issues.
Included in the objectives of the CAMD is the development of a website to enable stakeholders to easily locate and navigate between the CAMD and the major projects it has initiated.

The website should be in place and in use before the end of April 2016 (Beta version) with a finished site ready no later than July 2016.
