We recently tested your knowledge on medical cannabis, and the results are in – and they’re certainly thought-provoking! Take a moment to review how you did and uncover some surprising insights. It’s hard to believe, but six years have passed since medical cannabis was legalised in the UK. However, despite its legal status, only a small percentage of eligible patients who could benefit from this treatment are actually able to access it. In fact, studies show that less than 1% of patients who could benefit from medical cannabis are currently receiving it through prescriptions. What’s contributing to this gap? Factors such as lack of awareness, limited access to prescriptions through the healthcare system, and societal stigma are all obstacles that have prevented broader adoption. At Mamedica, we are committed to bridging this gap by providing personalised support and guidance, helping patients understand their treatment options, and ensuring improved access to medical cannabis.

Unlocking Untapped Potential in Healthcare Funding: Medical Cannabis The recent UK budget missed a significant opportunity to tap into cannabis legalisation as a revenue stream. The potential of medical cannabis to save the NHS billions while enhancing patient care has never been clearer. With each medical cannabis patient saving the NHS an estimated £729 annually through reduced opioid prescriptions, fewer GP visits, and less reliance on costly alternative therapies, the impact could be transformative. If available to the 5.45 million people in the UK living with chronic pain, it could mean nearly £4 billion in annual savings—resources that could be redirected to vital health services. This #MedicalCannabisAwarenessWeek Mamedica is on a mission to change lives by advocating for policy reform and educating on cannabis's safe, therapeutic benefits. Imagine the impact of accessible, medically supervised cannabis treatments: fewer pressures on healthcare resources, improved patient quality of life, and greater healthcare equity. What do you think? Should we make medical cannabis a priority in our healthcare system? 🌱💬 For more insights, check out the full article: https://lnkd.in/g5AsYC3j #Mamedica #MedicalCannabis #PatientAccess #HealthcareAccess #ChronicConditions #MCAW #CannabisIndustry

📢 Medical Cannabis Awareness Week: Bridging the Gap in Patient Access and Education In the UK, over 29 million people could potentially benefit from medical cannabis, yet less than 1% currently have access to it. Despite its established potential for addressing chronic conditions, barriers like lack of awareness and stigmastill prevent millions from exploring these treatments. While private medical cannabis prescriptions have grown by 118% in the last two years, surveys indicate that 58% of people remain unclear about its legal status or therapeutic benefits. This Medical Cannabis Awareness Week, Mamedica is committed to reshaping this narrative. At Mamedica, we’re dedicated to advancing patient education, addressing how cannabis can support those with conditions such as chronic pain and anxiety, and clarifying misconceptions around legality and safety. Our team of specialists offers ongoing guidance, ensuring patients feel informed and supported at every step of their journey.

As we commence #MedicalCannabisAwarenessWeek, it's an opportune moment to reflect on the significant progress made since the legalisation of medical cannabis in 2018. For thousands of patients, this milestone has been transformative, providing renewed hope and relief for conditions such as epilepsy, chronic pain, anxiety, and more. Over the past six years, we’ve witnessed remarkable advancements: 👉🏼 Access to medical cannabis has grown, with a greater number of clinics and prescriptions available to those in need. 👉🏼 Research into its therapeutic potential has expanded, supporting the development of more evidence-based treatments. 👉🏼 Patient advocacy has been instrumental in raising awareness, advocating for improved access, and striving for greater affordability for all. While there is still much work ahead, together, we are breaking down barriers, educating the public, and laying the foundation for a more promising future.

We are proud to announce that Mamedica is at the forefront of research exploring the transformative potential of cannabis legalisation in healthcare, as featured in The Canary. Our latest findings indicate that legalising cannabis could save the NHS an impressive £5 billion annually. This goes beyond financial implications—millions of individuals in the UK living with chronic pain stand to gain from safer and more effective cannabis-based treatments. These treatments could also play a crucial role in addressing the increasing issue of opioid dependency. Mamedica’s CEO and Founder, Jon Robson, highlights the immense potential of the cannabis industry for the UK, asserting that it could establish the country as a regional leader. By embracing this burgeoning sector, the UK has the opportunity to attract investments, boost local economies, and significantly enhance public health. Jon further underscores that the growing acceptance of medical cannabis as a legitimate treatment option opens the door to substantial economic development and job creation, generating significant tax revenue for the government. Given the escalating financial pressures on the NHS, Mamedica’s research indicates that cannabis could help alleviate some of the burdens on an overstretched system, ultimately providing much-needed relief for both patients and healthcare providers. 🔗 Read the full article now: https://lnkd.in/g5AsYC3j #Mamedica #CannabisHealthcare #NHS #ChronicPain #CannabisLegalisation #FutureOfMedicine #PatientCare #PainRelief #CannabisIndustry

Thanks for having me at the CB Company and InterTabac - InterSupply Expo in Dortmund. It was great to share a panel with Robert Jappie, Nick Kenny, Joshua Normanton and Aleksandra Vujinovic to discuss marketing and advertising in cannabis at the INCBA Europe event.

We are proud to be featured in The Times’ latest article highlighting the surge in medical cannabis use in the UK. As access to this vital treatment remains limited through the NHS, we’re dedicated to helping patients find safe treatment that offers lasting relief. As our CEO and founder, Jon Robson highlights, “The NHS only offers limited access to medical cannabis,” making it crucial for patients to explore holistic and natural treatment options. With over 5,400 patients treated since our launch, we’ve witnessed a tenfold increase in patient numbers—proof that many are seeking alternatives for chronic pain and other debilitating conditions. The voices of patients like Julie Gould, who have found life-changing relief through medical cannabis, drive our mission. As we continue to advocate for change, patient stories inspire us to advocate for broader access and acceptance within the healthcare industry in the UK.
