Australia, 14th February 2019: Australian medicinal cannabis company Althea Group Holdings Limited (ASX: AGH) through its wholly-owned subsidiary Althea Company Pty Ltd ( Althea ) is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the newly-launched Medical Education In Cannabinoids learning portal ( MEDIC ).

MEDIC to educate on the benefits of medicinal cannabis

MEDIC is an education initiative developed by Hahn Healthcare through sponsorship from Althea. The content is developed for healthcare professionals, by healthcare professionals. The first module to be released has been granted accreditation by both the RACGP and the ACRRM.

Aimed specifically at GPs, the educational content offered through MEDIC will allow Australian doctors to easily access content and learn more about medicinal cannabis, without incurring cost. The initial launch will include a module which focuses on the endocannabinoid system and the appropriate use of medicinal cannabis in patients with symptoms related to chronic non-cancer pain.

In the coming months, a further four accredited educational modules are planned for release on the MEDIC portal, with every course completed earning GPs the relevant continuing professional development ( CPD ) points for each of the RACGP or ACRRM.

Ongoing partnership with Hahn Healthcare to expand offering

In addition to the educational material which will be available through MEDIC, future accredited content is planned through Hahn Healthcare’s simGP™ portal, offering healthcare professionals simulation-based learning CPD opportunities to complement the module-based learning through MEDIC.

Sponsorship of both MEDIC and simGP™ represents an exciting move by Althea to help close the reported knowledge gap[1] of many healthcare professionals in Australia, as they seek to address the increasing demand from patients to better understand the appropriate use of medicinal cannabis. It will also allow Althea to further support healthcare professionals as they begin to navigate the seemingly complex application process, to enable appropriate patient selection.

The launch of MEDIC is in addition to Althea’s existing field-based Medical Science Liaison personnel which offer on the ground guidance and support to healthcare professionals as they explore the use of medicinal cannabis and navigate the TGA application process.

Althea CEO Joshua Fegan said: “We are delighted with the opportunity to deliver such an exciting educational portal to Australian doctors. Althea has a mandate to provide high quality, freely accessible and accredited education tailored to the Australian market, and such a commitment cements our position as a leader in the eyes of the medical community.”
