Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust would like to remind all suppliers of the mandatory use of the MIA (Medical Industry Accredited) System to manage and verify all commercial representatives. This includes, but is not limited to, MedTech and Pharmaceutical Representatives, Service Engineers, and Clinical Trainers.

Please ensure that you:

• Hold a valid and in-date MIA Membership (details available here).

• Register all visits through the MIA Appointment Booking System at least 48 hours in advance. Appointments must be approved (not pending) prior to arrival, except in urgent cases.

• Download and use the MIA Smartphone App, and wear your physical MIA badge while on-site.

Additionally, the Trust has previously issued important guidance on the following areas:

• New product requests and trials

• Live registration on the NHS Supply Chain MIA register

• Access to theatre storerooms

Please refer to the attached letter from the Trust for full details and compliance requirements.

Thank you for your cooperation.
