GROW® Pharma

We are proud to publish the results of our survey of UK Healthcare Professionals' attitudes towards Medical Cannabis. This is the first study of its type by including a wider pool of participants from across the healthcare community, such as consultants, trainees, nurses, researchers, pharmacists, and GP's. Our aim was to identify considerations and concerns, as well as how professionals would like to be taught further information. GROW'S findings show how the medical cannabis industry can actively aid the education of healthcare professionals, as well as the real-world barriers that are preventing wider prescribing. We aim to continue conducting contemporary research into medical cannabis attitudes so that more patients can get the help that they need, and so that the industry can understand the areas in which progress is needed. If you are a healthcare professional looking to become a medical cannabis prescriber, please get in touch with our team via anup.shah@growbiotech.com. GROW's Doctor Portal is a wealthy resource for cannabis education, and we regularly hold free educational webinars for Doctors. #Survey #DoctorSurvey #NewResearch #UKResearch #MedicalCannabis #Stigma #CannabisResearch #ResearchReport #cannabisnews #cannabis Benjamin Langley Ian Atkinson Pierre van Weperen Anup Shah Alex Fraser Joséphine McFarlane

Each year, UK Disability History Month celebrates the history, struggles, and achievements of disabled people. This year’s theme- Disability, Livelihood, and Employment, highlights the importance of inclusion and equality in the workplace. From the challenges faced in workhouses during the 1800s to the shifts in public perception post-WWII, the history of disability rights has been shaped by resilience and advocacy.   Let’s honour this month by learning and advocating for a more inclusive society 💙 #DisabilityHistoryMonth #EqualityForAll #Inclusion #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

#InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek is held every October to help bring invisible disability awareness in the UK and around the world 🌍 It allows people to understand the different types of conditions that people have to manage on a daily basis. People can become more accepting of others and aware of their needs, which can break down barriers and unhealthy stereotypes relating to these conditions.

GROW® Pharma and Integro Medical Clinics are set to expand their flagship medical cannabis access program to all UK university students. Citing a rise in mental health issues among students, the expansion of the access scheme aims to lower the prices of access to medical cannabis for this largely low-income demographic, in what it described as a ‘massive missed opportunity’. Unlike other groups that the ‘Grow Access Project’ (GAP) has expanded to recently, including Blue Light Card holders, the clinics have taken extra precautions to establish a risk protocol for younger recipients in an effort to ensure patient safety. https://lnkd.in/e9W4tP3Y
