Join The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society and Curaleaf Laboratories for an in-depth exploration of emerging delivery systems for cannabis-based medicinal products (CBPMs). This webinar is designed for prescribers, pharmacists, nurses, and healthcare professionals involved in medical cannabis care.
As clinical practice evolves beyond traditional oil and flower preparations, new formulations – such as cartridges, capsules, pastilles, creams, and inhaler devices – offer diverse options for patients and prescribers alike. This session will examine the science, safety, and clinical application of these formats, with expert insight from three leading UK clinicians.
What you will learn
- Pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, and onset profiles of alternative delivery systems
- Considerations for dosing equivalence between oral, inhaled, and topical routes
- Practical considerations for patient selection, adherence, and acceptability
- Clinical use cases and emerging evidence for each formulation
- Manufacturing standards and quality assurance within UK-licensed supply chains
This event builds on the Society’s aims to help healthcare professionals prescribe confidently, safely, and in line with best practice guidance.
Who should attend?
Doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and professionals involved in prescribing, dispensing, or advising on CBPMs who want to expand their knowledge of new delivery methods and clinical applications.
