In this practical session, Dr Evan Cole Lewis and Dr Rowan Thompson, editors of the new MCCS dosing guide for medical cannabis oils, will walk through the key principles of safe, effective oil-based prescribing. The webinar introduces clinicians to the frameworks set out in Medical Cannabis Oils: Dosing and Guidance for Safe and Effective Treatment in Adults and Children, the first comprehensive guide to dosing and titrating medical cannabis oils in the UK.
Across this focused hour, attendees will explore evidence-informed protocols for oil initiation, titration, monitoring, follow-up, and when to introduce THC. The session is designed to support clinicians in applying consistent, structured approaches to prescribing medical cannabis oils in real-world settings.
Developed by clinicians for clinicians, the new dosing guidance brings clarity, safety and consistency to an area that has, until now, lacked unified standards. Dr Evan Lewis and Dr Rowan Thompson will explain why structured oil dosing matters, how the handbook was developed, and how prescribers can use the framework to strengthen decision-making and improve patient outcomes. A must-attend for clinicians seeking practical, reliable tools for safe, defensible oil-based prescribing.
