One Nucleus – Office for Life Sciences Regional Seminar

The Office for Life Sciences (OLS) is a joint unit between The Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) and BEIS (Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy).

Their purpose is to generate inward investment to the UK and support the growth of innovative life science companies across the UK landscape.

OLS are currently engaging with SMEs and relevant bodies across the life science sector to better understand the concerns, impacts and plans companies are developing and enacting to prepare for EU exit.

OLS would like to use this event to understand your key concerns and needs. This will also be an opportunity to update you on Government planning for Brexit in areas such as regulation, borders, continuity of supply, trade continuity and migration.

OLS will use findings from the discussion to influence Government policy across relevant departments and Ministers.
