WEBINAR: Medicines, Brexit and the Border

Wednesday 11 November 2020 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm GMT

In this Medilink Midlands webinar, the Office for Life Sciences, the Government’s specialist team that sponsors the sector, will present on everything firms developing, manufacturing and selling Medicines need to know about the end of the Transition Period, and what will happen next.

In particular, they will cover:

– The latest on Trade Negotiations with the European Union, as well as the United States and Australia

– How the regulation of Medicines is changing from the 1 January, what your business needs to get ready, and how the UK will develop a new sovereign system

–  How the border, imports and exports will work from 1 January; and

–  Action that firms need to take on Data, Immigration and Global Recruitment, and EU research funding

The session will include plenty of time for questions, as well as guidance on where to go for further information, support and advice.

Please note – this webinar will cover similar material to the webinars run by Medilink Midlands and the Office for Life Sciences on 4 and 23 November.
