Clinic launches ‘rapid access’ cannabis scheme with one-hour turnaround
The Cann I Help clinic will offer patients back-to-back appointments with a nurse and GP to speed up access.
A medicinal cannabis clinic has launched a ‘rapid access’ program that promises to provide cannabis prescriptions to patients within 60 minutes.
Dr Laurence Kemp, the head of medical at the Cann I Help clinic, claims it is a response to an increasing number of “semi-urgent” cases over the last six months.
These include existing patients who forget to book a review and are running out of medication as well as new patients with a new diagnosis or recommendation from their usual GP to try medicinal cannabis.
“Our initial response was to think — can we can signpost how our services work better,” says Dr Kemp, a Queensland GP.
