EFORT European Activities Updates

EFORT: Advocating for Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the EU Level

EFORT actively collaborates with EU policymakers directly or through the Biomedical Alliance, to ensure the orthopaedic and trauma community's voice is heard in shaping healthcare and research policies. Through evidence-based proposals, partnerships, and involvement in EU-funded projects and expert committees, EFORT contributes to key initiatives like the Medical Device Regulation and Continuing Medical Education.

The EFORT Committee on European Affairs plays a vital role in monitoring EU developments, fostering collaboration, and positioning our organisation as a key partner in addressing Europe’s health and Research challenges. It conveys concerns and expectations of national associations to European decision-makers.

IMPACT OF MDR IN ORTHOPAEDICS

BioMed Alliance Europe shares a new set of recommendations on key challenges in system for medical devices & IVDs

BioMed Alliance Europe advocates for medical societies at the European level, ensuring healthcare professionals are involved in key health policy discussions. 

As an active member, EFORT has been contributing to initiatives on medical devices, including a recent survey to assess challenges faced by Orthopaedic and Traumatology surgeons. EFORT also participated in the European Commission’s workshop (Brussels, 20 March 2025) to provide input on the implementation of the Medical Device Regulation.

In March 2025, BioMed Alliance published a report identifying major obstacles in the application of the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR). Key concerns include high certification costs, limited access to essential devices, regulatory complexity, and barriers to innovation.

To address these issues, the Alliance calls on EU policymakers to streamline certification processes, strengthen regulatory coordination, improve market access, and foster medical innovation. Greater transparency and stakeholder engagement are also essential to ensure a sustainable and effective regulatory framework.
