Patient support program developer Sinapse is set to go live with a medicinal cannabis medicines portal (MCMP) next month that promises to provide a streamlined process for medicinal cannabis prescribing and dispensing between health professionals and manufacturers.

Developed as one of Sinapse's PharmaPrograms, the idea is to facilitate supply of medicinal cannabis via the Therapeutic Goods Administration's (TGA) Special Access Scheme (SAS) through registered pharmacies, as well as to assist prescribers to comply with regulatory requirements through step-by-step support.

PharmaPrograms systems architect Kos Sclavos said the MCMP will ensure that a greater number of health professionals will be able to work together to support patients and carers who require access to medicinal cannabis. Interested health professionals can register from today at mcmp.com.au.
