Abstract

On 23 June 2016, the United Kingdom will hold a referendum to decide whether we should remain in the European Union. Many professional medical and scientific societies, as well as international organisations, have advised a ‘Yes’ vote in this referendum in favour of staying in the European Union.1 Why have they reached this conclusion and how might the opposite outcome, an exit from the European Union, affect medical research and health in the United Kingdom?
