Government publishes "No Deal" Brexit advice for healthcare workers

17 Sep 2019

The NHS have published advice for both patients and healthcare staff about what to expect in the event of a "No Deal" Brexit. 

Getting your medicines if there's a 'no deal' Brexit is patient focused advice which outlines the steps government is taking to ensure supply and discourages the public from ordering more medicines than they normally would or seeking to stockpile supplies. The webpage will be updated with further advice as needed.
