Description

This week we saw the release of the much awaited Yellowhammer documents from the government, documents which outline some of the risks involved with Britain’s sudden departure from the EU. The documents themselves outline that there are risks to the supply of medicines - but do not set out the detail of how those risks have been mitigated, and what doctors and patients should do to plan for the possibility.

In this podcast we hear from Andrew Goddard , president of the Royal College of Physicians, and Sandra Gidley, president of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. We also have a statement from the Royal College of Radiologists.
