About

An independent, proportionate regulator

The Jersey Medicines Regulatory Authority is responsible for the regulation of medicines and controlled drugs in Jersey. Its role is to safeguard public health while enabling safe, responsible innovation — relying, where appropriate, on assessments made by trusted international regulators.

The Authority sets clear quality, licensing and surveillance requirements, maintains public registers, and publishes the decisions and guidance that support transparent and predictable regulation.
