On Friday, 20 December 2019, after three and a half years of discussion the Parliament of the United Kingdom (UK) voted decisively that this country should leave the European Union (EU). For many of us this was a sad day. However, this political decision has been made and intensive negotiations will now take place between the UK and the EU's negotiating teams to agree the details for the UK's future relationship with the EU. It is still far from clear exactly what the consequences of the resulting deal will be for both parties. A number of previous articles and editorials have speculated on the possible consequences for health and oral health in the UK. Key areas include workforce, research and regulations for medicines and medical and dental equipment. This editorial will consider the implications for the UK's Oral healthcare workforce.
2019年12月20日星期五，经过三年半的讨论，英国议会果断投票决定该国应脱离欧盟。对我们许多人来说，这是悲伤的一天。然而，这一政治决定已经做出，英国和欧盟谈判团队现在将展开密集谈判，以商定英国与欧盟未来关系的细节。目前尚不清楚最终达成的协议对双方究竟会产生什么后果。此前已有多篇文章和社论推测了脱欧对英国健康和口腔健康可能产生的后果。关键领域包括劳动力、研究以及药品和医疗及牙科设备的监管。本社论将探讨对英国口腔医疗劳动力的影响。
