About this event
This content has been certified by the CPD Certification Service as conforming to continuing professional development principles.
This training is intended to give clinicians and healthcare professionls who are members of The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society (MCCS) and the Cannabis Industry Council (CIC) an in-depth, fully up-to-date knowledge of the medical cannabis products (CBMPs) available to prescribe in the UK, together with the confidence to know what to prescribe according to a patient’s indication.
The MCCS offers their doctors, nurses and medical students exclusive live training with Professor Mike Barnes every couple of months. Training takes place over Zoom video conference, so is fully interactive and provides an opportunity for meeting other like-minded medical professionals across the UK.
