Working with patient organisations

At present the number of European patients able to access medicinal cannabis is estimated to be over 100,000* . However, as EU governments review and revise their guidelines, over 25 million patients may be able to access medicinal cannabis over the next 10 years in Europe**. This represents a massive unmet need for medicinal cannabis treatments, across a broad range of medical conditions, especially in the area of Pain Management.

Key Priorities

Removing the regulatory and prescribing hurdles of pharmaceutical-grade medicinal cannabis in the EU and member states will enable innovative products to reach patients in a timely manner.

This requires co-operation and cross-working between the EUMCA and the wider industry stakeholders, including: 

  • Working with governments and healthcare professionals to assist and aid in their understanding of the benefits of cannabis for medicinal purposes
  • Working with patient organisations to reduce inequalities for patients accessing medicinal cannabis-based medicines throughout the EU
  • Working and collaborating with medical research charities and patient organisations to widen our scientific understanding on the benefits of medicinal cannabis and develop ethical, comprehensive educational materials which provide balanced, scientific information on its benefits
  • Creating a transparent, credible and evidence-based knowledge exchange between medicinal cannabis stakeholders and patient organisations
  • Ensuring that all key marketing communications are presented to patients in a standardised and ethical manner
