MHRA Windsor Framework Hub

A hub for information on the main changes introduced by the Windsor Framework

MHRA Windsor Framework Information Hub

This information is designed to help you understand the main changes that implementing the Windsor Framework will introduce for medicines and what you need to do to prepare. It includes a collection of documents that provide guidance on the Windsor Framework agreement on supply of medicines in Northern Ireland.

From 1 January 20251, the Windsor Framework introduces new rules in the UK for product licensing, labelling, and the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD). It will ensure that medicines can be approved and licensed on a UK-wide basis by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and medicines can be supplied in the same packs across the UK. It also provides for the disapplication of FMD safety features for medicines marketed and supplied in Northern Ireland.

1. Subject to the UK providing written guarantees to the European Commission as provided for in Article 8 of EU Regulation 2023/1182 and following the entry into force and application procedure provided for in Article 14.

Further information is available in the guidance listed below.
