The IODA Charter

A commitment to work at improving diversity, equity and inclusion in O& T

IODA, the International Orthopaedic Diversity Alliance announces increased interest from surgical societies, industry and academic publishers for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the speciality by becoming signatories to its Charter.

Others wishing to engage can go to the Charter webpage.

Since the launch of the IODA Charter in 2022, twenty organisations worldwide have signed the Charter – half of which are European.

This engagement is encouraging, but what does it mean to sign the IODA Charter? It is a public commitment to work at improving diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the specialty; and from feedback IODA has received thus far, an incentive to carry out the important work required to achieve these great objectives.

The IODA Charter highlights action points that can assist your organisation or society focus and initiate objectives to drive culture change based on the identified barriers. These action points can be implemented into local strategic plans and policies —see road map below. IODA is excited to see outlined DEI metrics improve over time from this important work all around the world.

CORE-MD

IT tools for regulatory science

If you missed the CORE-MD Project webinar on IT tools for regulatory science: aggregating available data for assisting Expert Panels and improving post-market surveillance it is now available from the CORE-MD Youtube channel.

This webinar aimed to:

  • To discover the activities performed during the CORE-MD project in support to automated data aggregation of safety notices for post-market surveillance.
  • To understand EMA Expert Panel’s roles in post-market surveillance and vigilance.
  • To receive regulator’s perspective on the use of real-world evidence.

CORE-MD is a European Union Horizon 2020 project. It reviews methods for evaluating high-risk medical devices in order to translate expert evidence into advice for EU regulators and to recommend an appropriate balance between innovation, safety , and clinical effectiveness.
