Great discussions this morning with ABPI members and @AlanMakMP on how we can support cutting-edge science and economic growth in the UK.

Fantastic 2 minute summary of where we are with R&D funding post budget: what is welcome, what we still don’t know, and why it matters. @AliciaGreated

[George Freeman FRSA MP @MPGeorgeFreeman]

🚨BUDGET UPDATE - Chancellor just said government is "protecting record funding for R&D to harness full potential for UK science base".

#Budget2024

[Shaun Walsh @shaunewalsh]

.@CR_UK was one of the orgs via @sciencecampaign that wrote to the Chancellor cited on #BBCLaurak to warn about impact of rumoured cuts to R&D budget on research breakthroughs, patient benefit and growth

I talk more about this on Politics East this morn

[Joseph Ewing @josephwewing]

I'm pleased @lifearc1 signed.

It's easy to shout about your budget being cut - but there's more to it.

R&D is like a bath. If you keep turning the tap on and off, you end up sitting in cold water.

Remember ODA cuts? It was about more than money. It's a similar argument now.

[Peter Kyle @peterkyle]

Life sciences is one of the crown jewels of the British economy.

This landmark agreement will not only drive forward work that will boost our health, but will also fire up our economy, delivering the growth we need to invest further in health and to push up living standards.

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Thank you to @SciTechgovuk secretary @peterkyle for dropping into our ABPI dinner at labour conference tonight. Look forward to working in partnership with DSIT & across government to continue to grow the UK’s fantastic life sciences sector. #LabConf24 @UKLabour

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Our President Russell Abberley of @Amgen says it’s crucial to recognise that the economic and health missions are interlinked. Ensuring that the UK’s competitive edge continues to be enhanced will be key to securing inward investment and fuelling growth. @LabourTogether #Lab24

[Monica Dahiya @mon_dahiya]

this is a great report from @IPPR which aligns strongly with @acmedsci positions on research and public health's role in boosting the economy

including recommendations around clinical research⬇️🏥

congrats to @cthomasippr and team!

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Great to see @wesstreeting and @peterkyle working on plans to make 🇬🇧 a life sciences powerhouse👏

We have a plan that can help - read it here https://t.co/uQm4YL8qnk

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Important report out today on medicines discovery - we were pleased to partner with @MedDiscCat + @BIA_UK on it.

Our Chief Executive @TorbettR said: "For the UK to become a global life science superpower, we must create a conducive environment across all stages of medicine development to support UK-based companies..." Read more 🔽

And that’s a wrap on todays conference!

A special thanks to all our speakers, to our fantastic exhibitors, our patient organisation partners, supporters and Ministers for coming, it’s been a great day!

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Speaking on the how industrial policy can be used to build on the UK’s strengths and competitiveness @TorbettR, ABPI Chief Executive, gave evidence at the @CommonsBTC on the opportunities for the life sciences industry⬇️⬇️

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

The ABPI has set out the measures the UK’s life sciences industry wants to see in Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt's Budget on 6 March.

These are the 4 key areas where the Budget could boost UK life science success:

⚗️Enhance the UK’s long-term tax and fiscal offer to global and domestic companies

💊Increase public investment in the power of innovative medicines

🔬Deliver the new Life Sciences Investment Programme effectively

🩻Ensure a globally competitive regulatory system that supports innovation and research

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Speaking about medicine shortages at this afternoons @CommonsHealth ABPI’s Rick Greville discussed how medicines manufacturers work hard to prevent and overcome any disruption to supply, but occasional shortages are unavoidable.

In general, the medicine supply chain is remarkably resilient, with the government, industry and the NHS working closely to support uninterrupted access to the medicines people need.

UK visa costs latest:

Iliana Ivanova:

“We are having some difficulties with European researchers going to the UK due to some visa issues and also higher costs that I’m going to raise with the British side”

Difficulties: £20.9k up front for a family of four on a 5-yr visa…

Spent two glorious weeks exploring #Pakistan recently & the determination of the massively engaged people there to exercise their democratic right in the face of serious voter suppression and the threat of violence was inspiring #PakistanZindabad https://t.co/Th1nuQ6fMn
