As part of our work to support the prescribing of medical cannabis for children living with treatment-resistant epilepsy, the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society has developed an expert panel to provide multi-disciplinary guidance to anonymised individual cases presented by prescribing UK physicians.
Led by Professor Mike Barnes, Chair of The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society, the Resistant Epilepsy Cannabis Assessment Panel (RECAP) is made up of national cannabis experts, all members of the Society’s expert committee. It is supported by international paediatric neurologists with specialisation in the treatment of epilepsy.
If you are a paediatrician wishing to prescribe medical cannabis for a patient and need support, email [email protected] to arrange.
