Episode Dr Leon Barron: What's your why? Cover

Dr Leon Barron: What's your why?

In today’s episode Hannah and Mike are joined by Dr Leon Barron, a GP and founding member of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society, to discuss the role of cannabis-based medicines in mainstream healthcare.  Dr Barron is a General Practitioner graduating from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. He has a varied portfolio of clinical roles under his belt, including both NHS and private practice and has an undergraduate MBBS teaching role at University College London.  Since the rescheduling of medical cannabis in 2018, Dr Barron has recognised the potential for cannabis-based medicines to sit within mainstream medicine— while also acknowledging the unique challenges and hurdles that need to be overcome to achieve this.   For the past few years, he has focused his efforts on educating clinicians as he believes this is the key to reducing stigma and helping to improve wider patient access to these medicines.  Dr Barron is one of the founding members and former Chair of The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society from 2022 to 2024, which has now grown to over 400 members. He is also a member of the Drug Science Medical Cannabis Working Group and the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Medical Cannabis, helping to shape and influence wider policies around access to CBPMs within the UK. In addition to these roles, he is chief medical officer for Grow Lab Organics. --- A quick mention about the sponsors of this seasons podcast.

Episode Dr Anne Schlag: What's Your Why? Cover

Dr Anne Schlag: What's Your Why?

Hannah and Mike are back with another episode of What’s Your Why, in which they sit down with Dr Anne Katrin Schlag PhD to discuss her research on medical cannabis with Drug Science.  Anne is a Chartered Psychologist and holds Honorary Senior Fellowships at both Imperial College London and King’s College London. As Acting CEO and Head of Research at the charity Drug Science, she leads the research for Drug Science’s Medical Cannabis and Medical Psychedelics Working Groups, publishing widely in both areas. Over the last few years Anne has also co-authored numerous papers from Drug Science’s T21 (formerly Project Twenty21) patient registry, which launched in 2019 to make medical cannabis more accessible and collect crucial real-world data on its safety and efficacy. Through her work with the Drug Science team, Anne’s findings have highlighted the positive effects and promising potential of cannabis-based medicines for a wide range of chronic conditions. In this episode she discusses the importance of real-world evidence in addition to randomised control trials, especially for botanical medicines such as cannabis, and calls on regulators to place more value on this. --- A quick mention about the sponsors of this seasons podcast.

Episode Dr Niraj Singh: What's Your Why? Cover

Dr Niraj Singh: What's Your Why?

Dr Niraj Singh is a highly regarded consultant psychiatrist, with extensive experience in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders as well as neurodevelopmental conditions including ADHD and Autism. Using a holistic approach, he has a strong interest in alternative treatments and was one of the first doctors to prescribe medical cannabis in the UK back in 2019. After admitting he almost didn’t go through with his first prescription, he says he has seen cannabis-based medicine make real positive change in his patients' lives. In his conversation with Hannah and Mike, Dr Singh shares what brought him to a career in medicine (despite being told his GCSE grades weren’t good enough) and how he became frustrated with the lack of effective treatments and over reliance on pills in psychiatry.  Dr Singh now devotes a significant amount of his time to raising awareness and educating his colleagues at the Royal College of Psychiatry and other medical bodies. As a member of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society, he is also passionate about ensuring clinicians are supported to feel confident and safe when prescribing cannabis-based medicines. --- A quick mention about the sponsors of this seasons podcast.
