Telemedicine in France & Germany: Regulation, Advertising and Enforcement

Telemedicine is creating exciting opportunities for healthcare businesses and platforms. However, operating across borders also involves significant legal and regulatory challenges. France and Germany share certain similarities in this area, but there are also important differences.

Together with De Gaulle Fleurance, we are delighted to invite you to our joint German-French webinar. During this webinar, Dr. Oliver Stöckel (Head of Digital Health at SKW Schwarz) and Cécile Théard-Jallu (De Gaulle Fleurance) will explore the legal and regulatory frameworks governing telemedicine in France and Germany, providing practical insights into the opportunities and challenges of cross-border business activities.

The webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• Regulation: What legal requirements apply to telemedicine providers in France and Germany? What is permitted, what is prohibited, and which regulatory obligations must be observed?
• Market entry and expansion: What should businesses consider when expanding their telemedicine operations into the other country's market?
• Advertising and marketing: Which advertising practices are permitted, where are the legal boundaries? 
• Enforcement and legal risks: Which authorities and other stakeholders can enforce the applicable rules? What enforcement mechanisms and risks exist, and how should providers prepare for them? What are the potential consequences of non-compliance?

The webinar will conclude with an interactive Q&A session, giving participants the opportunity to raise questions and engage in discussion with our speakers.
