Prescribers in Australia can access all THC medicinal cannabis products via the Medicinal Cannabis Medicines Portal (MCMP) www.mcmp.com.au
The MCMP is a collaborative approach between Prescribers, Pharmacists and Suppliers to help patients get timely access to appropriate Medicinal Cannabis treatment.
The MCMP significantly eases the administrative burden of prescribing Medicinal Cannabis products; by pre-populating all applicable approval forms, recording patient details required for repeat prescriptions, and providing ready access to a wealth of clinical studies to support a prescriber’s application.
