They have anti-vax and anti-science lunatic already poised to attack the ability of medtech and pharma companies to conduct even the most basic of development and testing. A soviet level ideological attack on R&D.

We can't miss this opportunity to gain advantage and empower our domestic production.

There are teams within our medical and research regulators poised to assist this transition.

More research conducted here means better access to trial medications and favourable access for the NHS in pilot/impact trials and final product access.

Its win win. Skilled jobs, exports and better value.

Working in this industry, I will be intrigued to see how the gov/regulator responds. There seems a genuine opportunity here - though I worry Brexit will be a reason this won’t happen

We had also just invested £400m into building capacity in clinical trials, medicines manufacturing and health technology assessments. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2024-voluntary-scheme-for-branded-medicines-pricing-access-and-growth)

Then a further £520m in the life science innovative manufacturing fund.

The whole sector is crying out for investment.
The loss of access to European research grants is hitting universities hard. Many researchers are fearing for their jobs.

I’m on board and would move my family abroad.

100% It'd be good for us and good for the world. But we could go further. The US is going to have a brain drain under Trump and we could capitalise. I mean, we already have one of the world's most advanced semiconductor designers here, let's expand.
