2018-08-20 – Researching the process.

I spend most of the day researching the process for applying to the government’s expert panel to acquire cannabis-based medication on prescription.  I already did a certain amount of research a couple of weeks ago, when I did my weekly vlog on the subject, but I wanted to go through the application form that my doctor has to complete to make sure there isn’t anything that I need to do prior to my appointment with him on the 7th September.   I do have a concern that the guidelines for applying state that the clinician must be listed on the General Medical Council’s specialist register, and I’m not sure that my doctor qualifies on this basis.  My neighbour (who I bump into when I take the dog for her afternoon walk) tells me that the doctor is a skin specialist and that he holds a clinic at Cromer Hospital (which appears to satisfy the criteria for being listed on the register), but I can’t find any evidence of this on the General Medical Council’s website.  I guess I’ll find out when I actually attend the appointment!
