Medical cannabis in UK practice: the evolving role of the pharmacist
11 Oct 2026
Business & Services Theatre
Medical cannabis is becoming increasingly visible across UK pharmacy practice, yet many pharmacists remain uncertain about the legal framework, available products and their professional responsibilities. This session will explain where pharmacists contribute across the medical cannabis pathway, from medicines reconciliation and safe dispensing to patient counselling, monitoring, governance and prescribing. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how they can support patients receiving cannabis-based medicines and how the pharmacist’s role may develop as clinical practice evolves.
