The RED Talk on The #Business and #Science of #Healthcare is now live! Still time to join us at ruralpolicy.group/red. The next big issue facing NICE & #healthcare will be our relationship with the European Medicines Agency after Brexit; it will impact our #medicines research, trials. We could see a dramatic reduction in research, access to medicine and disrupt the supply of meds - @steve_mccabe
