The UK leaving the EU will have significant
implications for patients and the public
- It is essential that patients’ interests
are put first in negotiations
- We are working together to ensure
that decision-makers are clear on
what steps are needed to ensure
patients are put first

(1) How will a trade agreement ensure sufficient and timely
supply of medicines and medical devices for both EU and
UK patients?
(2) How will partnership on medical research be continued in
order to enable innovative research to be conducted across
the UK and the EU?
(3) How will a smooth transition be ensured so that patient
safety is affected the least?
What we still want to know…

@5 Key Asks
EU27 and UK patients should continue having access to life-saving drugs and medical
technologies, and early access to new health technologies post-Brexit
EU should remain a world-class hub for research and collaboration post-Brexit
EU27 and UK patients should continue to receive the best possible care
Public health for all EU and UK citizens post-Brexit
EU27 and UK health professionals should continue to benefit from mutually beneficial training
and education opportunities, automatic recognition of their qualifications, and continue to
provide healthcare services to EU27 and UK patients

Editor's Notes
A patient-led platform that provides a structured way of facilitating interaction between patients, government, industry, science and academia to put patients at the heart of policy and medicines development. In pursuit of this we hold workshops, discussion groups, training days and conferences on policy, legislation and regulation around the development of new medicines, products, devices and diagnostics for unmet medical needs.
A desire for close relationships from both sides
Fundamental difference:
EU is looking at existing trade models
UK wants a new, more comprehensive agreement
Many documents produced to prepare citizens / organisations / businesses
“Chequers” proposals heavily criticised last week
Only a few months before the deadline and we still face too much uncertainty!
