Barriers to Access – “Our ‘Barriers to Access’ panel will discuss the main barriers facing patients in the UK regarding prescription cannabis. It will introduce the three current research and access schemes operating in the UK: Project Twenty21, and Sapphire access scheme. These schemes help to overcome barriers by focusing on Real World Evidence data to prove the safety & effectiveness of CBPMs so that medical cannabis can become available on the NHS while also subsidising medical cannabis. Discussions will be around cost, stigma, misinformation, lack of support/education and lack of NHS access.

Date: Thursday 3rd November

Time: 6:00 -7:30pm

Host:

– TBC at a later date.

Panel:

– Panellists to be confirmed at a later date.
