Prioritise UK patients / Public Health & Shortage of Medications after Brexit.
It's CRITICAL UK patients can ensure continuity of life-saving medication for epilepsy, diabetes/etc. SAFEGUARD patients/not lose out on best meds/treatments/medical devices/benefit from early access to new health technologies/cutting-edge meds/partake in international clinical trials if leaving EU.
Following Brexit, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) moves London to Amsterdam. The EMA oversees / evaluates medicines across the EU, which currently still includes the UK.
While shortages occurred 2 years ago, experts warn that preparations for a no-deal Brexit – including government directions to key drug manufacturers to stockpile a six-week supply – may be pushing up prices. Chaos in Westminster means patients, hospitals and other parts of the supply chain may also be stockpiling medicines
