University of Birmingham Medical School

Cannabis has been a legal medicine in the UK for 5 years. So how is it being used in psychiatry? How is it helping with mental health? What conditions is it being proven to help treat?

Join us for a very special evening at the University of Birmingham Medical School in collaboration with Birmingham Psychiatry Society, as we hear from some current UK prescribers of cannabis-based medicines. These are clinicians at the forefront of cannabis prescribing at a time when there is still a lot of stigma around the use of cannabis.

This event is run through our Student Society Network. To find out how to join, visit our website.
