Autopsy webinar series – The Human Tissue Authority - 27 November 2024
Understanding the Human Tissue Authorities role in the Post Mortem sector
The Human Tissue Authority (HTA) regulates organisations that remove, store and use tissue for post-mortem examination, medical treatment, research, teaching and display in public. Making sure human tissue, cells and organs are handled with dignity, used with consent and stored safely, is at the heart of what we do.
This talk will explore the role of the HTA in regulating the Post Mortem sector within England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The discussion will cover a brief history, the Human Tissue Act 2004 legislation, the HTA’s regulatory framework and the regulatory tools and activities we have developed in this diverse sector.
We regulate in an environment of ongoing change, technical advances and challenges. We will share how the HTA reflects on lessons learned to achieve our aim, of being an excellent, modern and accountable regulator dealing proportionately with the sector, whilst supporting licensed establishments to achieve the set standards.
