The Centre for Medicinal Cannabis - Breakfast Club
At the start of the 2018, who would have predicted that so much would have happened. Real change for the estimated 1.1m medical cannabis patients in the UK seemed a very long way away.
There was some room for hope, however, as UPA Patron Paul Flynn MP’s Elizabeth Brice Private Members bill due for its second reading the House of Commons at the end of February was a potential catalyst for more to come. But no one, especially the Home Office, was prepared for the Billy and Alfie effect and the unstoppable force of mothers, Charlotte and Hannah.
United Patients Alliance had some great plans to maximise the impact of every opportunity for change that presented itself and looking back at 2018, for a small bunch of volunteer patients with chronic conditions giving what time and efforts their conditions and limited resources would allow, it’s fair to pause for a moment and reflect on what we have achieved and give ourselves a big (but gentle) pat on the back before driving forwards into 2019 which we hope will become a year of significant patient access.
2019 Opens with a new opportunity for me personally, recognising and building on my last 5 years of experience in campaigning for cannabis as medicine and supporting patients both as a nurse and with United Patients Alliance along with a life time of consuming cannabis as medicine.
I look forward both to continuing to dedicate my time to United Patients Alliance, whilst, in my new role, having the credibility and influence to bring the voice of patients even louder and more effective than before.
