Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. \n  \nJoin the second of our two-part CPD accredited virtual workshops\, Is your Business Case NHS Ready?\, delivered by the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network (EMAHSN). \nThe challenge as innovators and companies selling to the NHS is often that when you have a product that improves patient outcomes and saves cost you still cannot get it adopted by the NHS.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: 10 months on from Brexit- where are we now?
DESCRIPTION:Ten months on from Brexit – we are seeing a set of challenges and opportunities facing the life science sector\, a time of technological change across fields like biotech\, medtech and AI. \nAmong the specific challenges are the new\, dual systems for mainland UK and Northern Ireland\, with NI needing to apply regulations flowing from Brussels. Sales in NI may require new Economic Operator arrangements\, for example.\nAlongside these challenges\, the UK is finding its feet in developing its own systems and structures. Opportunities like a more flexible and permissive regulatory model\, involving acceptance of goods approved elsewhere subject to proportionate\, risk-based controls\, could see a reduced regulatory burden\, especially for smaller innovators. The fresh approach proposed in the Taskforce on Innovation\, Growth and Regulatory Reform report offers a prospect of real benefits to industry. \nBusinesses across the sector also continue to face challenges and opportunities in recruiting and retaining talented staff. These include the new (but continually) evolving points based immigration system\, competition for the best people\, and staff engagement – all in the context of new ways of working as we begin to emerge from the Covid-19 lockdown. \nJoin Mills & Reeve at this webinar to hear from James Fry\, Isabel Teare and Tracy Yates as they consider the above challenges plus providing the opportunity for you to ask questions. \nDURATION: 1 hour \nSpeaker Profiles: \n \nJames Fry\, Head of Life Sciences and Partner at Mills & Reeve\nJames heads the firm’s fast growing\, multi-disciplinary life sciences practice and focuses exclusively on this sector. The practice supports clients in the pharma and biotech\, medical device\, diagnostic\, medtech and digital health sub-sectors. James’ own practice focuses on intellectual property\, commercial contracting and regulatory work. \n\nIsabel Teare\, Senior Legal Adviser at Mills & Reeve\nIsabel Teare is a Senior Legal Adviser at Mills & Reeve. She started her career in molecular biology\, and focuses on all aspects of life sciences law and regulation. \n\nTracy Yates\, Consultant\, Mills & Reeve \nTracy is an employment lawyer since with a business focused immigration specialism since. She has a wide experience of changing economic\, political and legal environments. She provides support and advice to leading regional organisations including those in the life sciences sector. \n  \n

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: BREXIT: Navigating the Maze of Business Travel & Working in the EU
DESCRIPTION:Join this Medilink Midlands webinar in partnership with Make UK to find out what changes companies need to consider in respect of the UK’s new immigration system and the new relationship with the EU as set out in the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). \nThe ability for UK business visitors to travel to the EU on work-related matters has changed. \nWith the end of freedom of movement business travel between the EU and the UK will no longer be as easy as it once was. \nThe UK and the European Union have negotiated and agreed a new Trade & Cooperation Agreement (TCA) and the transition period ended on 31 December 2020 with the UK leaving the EU Single Market and Customs Union. This means there are significant and immediate changes for businesses trading with the EU and Northern Ireland. \nNew arrangements for UK business visitors to travel to the EU on work-related matters came into effect from 1 January 2021. The UK not being a member of the EU is now a ‘third-country’ and UK employers have to navigate individual EU member state rules for their mobile workforce. \nPLEASE CLICK HERE TO SECURE YOUR FREE PLACE\nThe webinar will cover; \n1.UK/EU Trade Agreement\n-What does the TCA mean for the UK? \n-Trade in services \n-People services \n2.Movement of people\n-Worker definitions under the TCA \n-Business visitor for establishment purposes \n-Independent professionals \n-Contractual service suppliers \n-ICT – Intra-Corporate-Transfers \n-Short term business visitors \n*Permitted activities \n-UK employers – self-employed\, contractors & agents \n3.Professional qualifications\n-Mutual recognition of professional qualifications \n4.Social Security\n-Social security rules \n5.Penalties\, fees and fines\n6.Planning for travel\n-Where to start \n-What you need to know about your workforce \n-What you need to know about EU immigration systems \n-Visa free travel to the EU \n7.Case study – Germany\n8.Working in the UK\n9.Routes\nFollowed by Q&A session \nDURATION: 90 minutes \nPLEASE CLICK HERE TO SECURE YOUR FREE PLACE\nSpeaker Profiles: to follow
