No-deal Brexit will be 'catastrophe' for NHS and increase risk from deadly pandemics, BMA warns A no-deal Brexit could increase the risk of a Europe-wide pandemic, according to the British Medical Association.
The doctors union warned in a new briefing paper shared with The Independent on Thursday that crashing out of the EU without a deal will leave the UK more vulnerable to outbreaks of deadly infectious diseases.
It says that the UK’s ability to coordinate responses to emerging threats, such as the current outbreak of measles or seasonal flu, will be seriously undermined, making it harder to stop infections spreading across borders.
